Dumbo Councilmember Steve Levin will vote to approve a contested public air rights sale that paves the way for a 26-story tower at 69 Adams St. — citing promises by city officials to spend most of the profits from the deal in the neighborhood, including a large chunk on the ailing York Street subway station.
“I’m not enthusiastically supportive but I have come to the conclusion that it is about as good as we were able to get it and I’m comfortable voting in favor of it,” Levin said at a virtual Council committee hearing on April 21.
The city plans to hawk 98,446 square feet of air rights from atop an adjacent lot — which are unusable due to the overhead Manhattan Bridge — to Rabsky Group, allowing the developer to add extra bulk to their planned mixed-use tower near Front Street.
