I Don't think those freight lines are active. I think we will or already have gotten those buildings next door on both sides. I think those deal happened quietly and that we now control it. I actually drove by here on the way to Costco(I know I am a domesticated man, its okay.) and the lot is huge. It looks like Hunts Point. This site is literally the first exit out of the midtown Tunnel or the last before the tunnel. It is VERY isolated too so we can do what we want(drink Costco booze).
is this real life? is this actually happening?
Very short-sighted of you NYCFC_Dan - if we waited for official announcements, we'd all have more time to bone-up on our tax deductions in this thread. And as they say, that's money!
it's cuz the G train is the red headed step child of the subway system.
what was said it was confirmed by two trusted sources. So yea still speculation but its a little more solid then pure speculation.
here's the quote.
PSA: Do not eat anything that comes out of that creek. Do not even touch that water.
why, the smell is our home field advantage.
Completely spitballing here, but this seems like a perfect lot to build a larger parking garage at. Arrow #1 is the last exit on the LIE before the tunnel, and Arrow #2 is the parking site:
Nobody not directly involved with a Superfund site wants to have anything to do with the cleanup. I know CFG practically prints money from their fossil fuel enterprises, but Superfunds are incredibly expensive and the liability involved is serious.
How far above the current waterline is it? Should probably build the whole thing on stilts so we can use the stadium for more than 20 or 30 years.
It's possible, but not likely due to a very low FAR (Floor Area Ratio) of the site, which is only 2. This means that since the Lot is 654' x 329' = 215,166sf, then we can build 2x that total square footage on this parcel of land. Granted, additional parcels of land will be needed for a stadium's footprint, but the adjacent lots also have an FAR of 2. The building volume can be any combination so long as it maintains the required zoning setbacks and maximum height (I haven't looked these up), so if you make a large plaza on the south size then you can take that un-built square footage and go higher in other parts. The problem being that a garage takes a lot of space up since parking spots and access lanes have minimum widths so there's no cutting corners when packing a minimum number of cars. The other variable that I don't know how it applies is the actual field area - if this doesn't count as built space since it isn't enclosed, then that's a huge plus, but if it does count (building & zoning codes are sometime strange) then that too will eat away a big chunk of what we can do.
