I dont understand, the buyer has the option to built a tower with this rendering? Or this is the rendering already chosen for the site. The building looks good to me. Wishing it was taller, but maybe that is as tall they can built.

Premier Hotel & Condominium Development Site
Address: 6 Water Street & 32 Pearl Street
Property type: Development/ Land
Location: New York, NY
Neighborhood: Financial District

Description:

A UNIQUE LOCATION

This is an opportunity to own and develop the best-located site for a new hotel or residential condominium in Downtown New York City. Prominently situated at the southern tip of Manhattan Island, the site has excellent potential for a flagship-quality building overlooking New York Harbor.


The location is highly visible, with exceptional transportation access, and close-up harbor views. The Property consists of two adjacent parcels, occupying nearly half a block with frontage on three streets. The site is zoned C5-5 for hotel, residential and commercial uses.



TWO DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS


The site is currently improved with a five story commercial building at 6 Water Street and a seven story, 21-unit apartment building at 32 Pearl Street. After demolition, a new building of 151,080 square feet (utilizing bonuses) can be built on the combined site.


Alternatively, the apartment building at Pearl Street can be converted to a condominium and a new building of 92,000 square feet (including bonuses) can be built on the Water Street parcel. A new building on the site will have dramatic views of New York harbor, and exceptional access to transportation, making it ideal for hotel or residential occupancy.


Converting the apartment building at 32 Pearl to condominiums can return capital and yield significant profits faster than all-new construction. Instead of being demolished, the exisitng 25,500 rentable square feet may be sold in the range of $1,100 per square foot, returning $28,100,000. This could significantly boost the return on capital invested.

With all of the crap that exists on Water Street, it's a shame to see nice, old buildings like this one razed.

Water Street all the way from Battery Park to South Street Seaport could use a re-think: wider sidewalks, more trees, less pavement.

OK, this site will now be a McSam / Kaufman / Chang Special (http://www.wirednewyork.com/forum/showpost.php?p=231524&postcount=184) , and I doubt it will look like the rendering previously shown ...

Broker Apologizes For Selling Property to Sam Chang

OK, not really, but that's kinda how this press release from Eastern
Consolidated officially announcing the massive sale (http://curbed.com/archives/2008/05/14/sam_chang_gobbles_up_more_fidi_property.php) of a Financial District
property to McSam Hotel Group overlord Sam Chang reads.
[NOTE: Guess who the ARCHITECT (http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/JobsQueryByNumberServlet?requestid=4&passjobnumber=110126863&passdocnumber=01) is for this latest MCSam :confused: :eek: ].
Here's the quote from Eastern Consolidated Director David Johnson,
who represented the seller of 6 Water Street, Richard Breton:
"Breton ultimately hired Eastern Consolidated and although
we marketed the site widely, reaching out globally to
more than 1,000 investors and developers, Sam Chang
still emerged the winner, bidding a record-breaking price of
$56 million to acquire the unique 8,300-square-foot site
fronting three streets, which allows for 125,000 square feet buildable.”
Oh, how they tried to find someone else, but in the end, only our
Developer of the Year (http://curbed.com/archives/2007/12/12/sam_chang_developer_of_the_year.php) BFF remained. Check out the location of the site,
seen in the provided photo. Chang will build a 30-40 story boutique
hotel on the spot, meaning that Sam Chang will be responsible for
something that will be seen in all those helicopter-filmed pan shots of
Lower Manhattan that run at the beginning of countless movies.

We're scared (http://curbed.com/archives/2007/07/03/mcsam_not_making_many_mcfans_with_this_one.php). Wait, no, we're very scared (http://curbed.com/archives/2007/07/11/downtown_towerwatch_mr_gehry_meet_mr_mcsam.php).

... what McSam Kaufman are now thinking after buying one of the most prominent remaining plots along Battery Park...
Actually the new McSam plot is opposite 1 New York Plaza -- and a couple of blocks east of the eastern edge of Battery Park (where the McDonalds (http://www.lovelyrestaurants.com/258481) is now -- DOF has a "Termination of Lease (http://a836-acris.nyc.gov/Scripts/DocSearch.dll/Detail?Doc_ID=2008041600067001)" for the McD's recorded 4.08, end date: 11.08) ...

6 Water Street

Hotelier Sam Chang has been busy selling development sites (http://ny.therealdeal.com/articles/mcsam-sells-fidi-lot-for-60-million) lately, but
he's still in the buying business. His McSam Hotel Group (http://ny.therealdeal.com/articles/mcsam-supersizes-in-lower-manhattan) purchased two
adjacent Financial District sites in mid-February, at 6 Water Street and
32-38 Pearl Street. He paid $56 million for the parcels, an eye-opening
$448 per developable square foot. The 8,400-square-foot site is zoned for
a maximum of 125,000 square feet of commercial or mixed-use space. A
five-story building houses a McDonalds at the Water Street site, and a
seven-story building with an Italian restaurant stands at the Pearl Street
address. The sellers were Richard Breton, Stephen Meringoff and Jay Shidler.

I can't believe we went from the rendering posted by krulltime to a McSam.:eek:
So Chang gets to build whatever monstrosity he wants on the southern tip of the island, seen from the harbor and I'm scared. When I clicked the link showing what he's building right next to the new Gehry tower, I really couldn't believe my eyes. I had to blink and focus again to comprehend the ugliness of what I was seeing.

It's colored like a giant McDonalds with outside elevators and a nutty pattern. Heaven help us.

Luckily McSam sold that site.
