A former animal hospital in NoHo is set to see a commercial revitalization. On Tuesday, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a revised renovation plan for the building at 348 Lafayette Street, which occupies 348-354 Lafayette Street and is also known as 11-13 Bond Street.

This past summer, the U.S. branch of Beijing-based China Oceanwide Holdings made a deal with Howard Hughes Corp. to acquire the development site at 80 South Street, in the Financial District, for $390 million. Now Curbed reports the developer has received approval from the City Planning Commission to transfer 426,940 square feet of air rights to the site. That means a mixed-use building of up to 1,067,350 square feet could be built, of which 512,300 square feet could contain residential units. That could mean a supertall tower at the site along the South Street Seaport. Applications have not been submitted to the Department of Buildings yet, but the latest document suggest the developer will be taking full advantage of the site and a large commercial component is being planned. A design architect has not yet been revealed. A number of low- and mid-rise buildings would first have to be demolished.
