Discussion about 77 Bleecker Street #604
I thought anyone seeing this apt (given the premium the owners have slapped on it for the “sunlight living room and open feel”) should be aware of NYU’s plans to build a dorm in the open green area across from 77 Bleecker, on the Mercer Street side. The NYU building will eliminate the "Open Western Exposure”. For NYU plan images and site development details, see http://www.gvshp.org/_gvshp/preservation/nyu/nyu-03-16-11.htm.

"“This is another reason why NYU needs to look at other locations, such as downtown Manhattan, for their expansion,”"

How about East New York?

Including their old main campus, in fact. In University Heights.

Or near their sun-drunk soul-mate, the hedge-owned University of Phoenix.

Yes, NYU is now competing with University of Phoenix for worldwide domination of the market for students who want internet courses without too much heavy lifting.
