The building will measure 10,294 square feet in total, which means units will average a relatively spacious 1,030 square feet each. The Dumbo-based architecture firm Formactiv is designing, and an existing two-story house must first be demolished.

World Trade Center’s Greek Orthodox Church Rising In Liberty Park, Financial District

Last year, ground was broken and new renderings were released for the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church planned at the also-under-construction Liberty Park, an elevated lot to the south of the World Trade Center, in the Financial District. The New York Times now reports the drum-shaped structure is rising and will be constructed with “white Pantelic marble, from the same vein in Greece that was quarried to construct the Parthenon.” Santiago Calatrava is designing, and completion of the sanctuary and park is expected in 2017.
