“>Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH) today announced a victorious decision by the New York State Court of Appeals for its planned 250 Water Street project in Lower Manhattan, clearing the way for the Seaport development to proceed. Today\u2019s court decision upheld the Appellate Court\u2019s ruling in favor of the project, and together with the State\u2019s extension of the recent 421-a tax exemption, has cleared all existing impediments to construction and unlocked tremendous value for Howard Hughes shareholders. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor too long, the lot at 250 Water Street has been an underutilized part of the Seaport,\u201d said David O\u2019Reilly, Chief Executive Officer of Howard Hughes<\/strong>. \u201cToday\u2019s decision marks a major win for Lower Manhattan and the city and paves the way for Seaport Entertainment Group to begin construction on a vibrant, mixed-use project that will be a significant contribution to the neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Planned for the site of aformerfull-block surface parking lot, the 27-story mixed-use project, designed by world-renowned architecture and urban design firmSkidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), will feature approximately400market-rate and affordable rentalapartments above a five-story base with commercial, retail and community space.<\/p>\n

The 2021 approval of 250 Water Street capped a comprehensive public review process. HHH obtained approvals from New York City\u2019s Landmarks Preservation Commission and through the City’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure, which included review byManhattan CommunityBoard 1, the Manhattan Borough President, City Planning Commission, and City Council. The project broke ground in 2022 and completed environmental remediation last year.<\/p>\n
