Our ideal ’hood
Construction junction
1. The downtown Whitney
Gansevoort St between Washington and West Sts, adjacent to the High Line park
Current siteExpected: Late 2012
What it brings to the neighborhood: The six-floor annex will offer outdoor and indoor exhibition space, with a building designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Renzo Piano.
What it takes away: An abandoned meatpacking plant, located on city property that some would like to see used for a school instead. Initial community response to the proposed museum has been positive, although the project still has to go through the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure. That means any objections can still be heard before the planned start of construction next spring.

The Rockaways is experiencing a major redevelopment and for N.Y standard, is very cheap to rent and buy.
How are they even allowed to represent projects like the way this is depicted? The looming fake illustration makes the building look like it's in the middle of some suburban corporate campus, not the insanely dense and cluttered Queensboro Plaza area. That rooftop deck will seem cozy with the clatter and squeal of the #7 train 50 feet away. More absurdly placed, cheaply built habitats for Bloomberg's lemmings. I hope the building offers a permanent supply of Kool-Aid in its lobby Sub-Zero.
No mention of Atlantic Yards?! Really?!
