Reply to comment by TizonaBlu in Historic Flatiron Building sells for $190 million at auction by Orener

> it’s impossible to do significant development.

Changing the building's interior layout, utilities, demising walls, or changing the use represents significant development. You can do these things with LPC designation. You'd apply for a Certificate of No Effect, if I recall from the few times I did this as a project manager in the city.

Edit: The original poster changed their tune and claimed it couldn't be developed into a tower. They'd still be wrong though; see Hearst Tower as an example.

Again, I said nothing of what you said. Im aware of what LPC does I’m currently dealing with them for my building. I’m talking about “significant development” meaning turning it into a tower. Not sure why you’re still confused.
