Southtown Plan Revealed
About three dozen Roosevelt Island residents heard plans for
Southtown described last week in a Tuesday night session with the
architects hired by The Related Companies.
(Review.)
Chief architect Max Bond of Davis Brody Bond described the planning thus far as "conceptual," saying, "We will listen to your comments, and then try to refine these plans based on your comments." He then described a favored plan that would eventually see nine buildings on the Southtown site, which covers 19.3 acres between the Tramway and the Main Street split south of Rivercross. Residents at the meeting raised questions about construction traffic, the housing "mix," community service space, commercial space. There were no announcements about funding or other progress toward a start of construction. A phase one plan consisting of two buildings was discussed.
