Extra Burden
The Real Estate Observer
Observer reporter Matthew Schuerman covers a different angle from anything else being discussed about last night's Gehry/Olin presentation and discussion:
Planning geeks have lamented the fact that Atlantic Yards won’t go through the city land use review process--which requires the City Council and City Planning Commission to approve zoning changes--but it seems like city Planning Director Amanda Burden is still getting to have her say. At a presentation before the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects tonight, both architect Frank Gehry and landscape architect Laurie Olin intimated that she had been needling them even if she has no power over their decisions--and in such a way that they did not seem rehearsed.
