New York high-rise hospital plan refused
2008-05-07 15:41:03 (GMT) (Caymanmama.com - News)NEW YORK — The design for a hospital which was the biggest growth that was about to take place in remarkable Greenwich Village, New York City have now been blocked by the preservation officials. The members of the preservation commission have refused to support the innovative hospital tower plan of St. Vincent’s Hospital.
Commissioners have demanded for extensive amendments and didn’t vote for the proposal. Everyone was against the destruction of the unique former maritime union hall so as to build up a hospital tower.
Many members argued that the planned hospital with a height of 320 foot was too high for the cozy village streets and also some of the current buildings of the St. Vincent’s are valued architecturally as well.
“To suggest that this is a choice between saving lives and saving buildings reflects poorly on the judgment of the experts making this claim,” said Roberta Brandes Gratz, a Commissioner and the preservationist at Manhattan.
The approval of the commission is awaited for the project as it involves huge changes regarding building of exteriors in the historical district.
Residential developer and the hospital representatives also did not revert to the phone calls immediately.
