Charles Blaichman, Richard Born and Ira Drucker, the developers of two of the three Richard Meier modernist glass towers along West Street in the Far West Village, have commissioned Asymptote to design a 8-story building with more than 20 condominium apartments at 166 Perry Street, which is around the corner from the Meier towers.
The developers were in the process of adding two stories to an existing 6-story garage structure on the site when the City Council voted this month to rezone the permissible size of new buildings in the neighborhood.
As a result of the council's vote, the city's Department of Buildings stopped work on the project and the developers are expected to seek permission from the Board of Standards & Appeals to continue construction.
