But that's OK because redeveloping that block is a good idea anyway. You move marginal businesses out and repopulate for a higher tax base.The FTC building as envisioned was going to have retail tenants. If a private developer takes over above ground you'll get a new building a new retail tenants and still derive benefit. I;m not thrilled with this development. The willing constructors have full plates and are more than happy to charge platinum prices for a new station and tell the MTA to take it or leave it. MTA is doing the right thing by saying "We'll leave it" and not committing to a bad deal. We'll see what happens. |
