This demolition was not part of the developer's recent press release, nor has Forest City yet applied for a demolition permit. (For all the other demolitions announced to CB 6, permits are in process.) As I wrote last week, Lot 13 has been vacant for a while and lots 19, 20, 55, and 56 were made vacant after demolitions next year. Announced are demolitions of lots 10, 11, 12, 18, 22, 30, and 54--filling in the grey color in the map above. The largest plot, Lot 1, a gas station, is largely absent of structures.

The former garment factory at 475 Dean was turned into artists' lofts; WNYC radio's Andrea Bernstein last year reported on some of the artists who were forced to relocate; those interviewed said that Forest City had given them a fair deal. Relocation contracts often require sellers to speak positively of the developer. (New York Voices also ran a story about the building.)
