According to Village Preservation, this graphic shows the scale of a mixed-use building that could be constructed — without any affordable housing — at 46 Cooper Square under the Soho/Noho rezoning that was approved on Dec. 15. With an F.A.R. of 12, the building could be 275 feet tall, using air rights from adjoining lots, with no affordable units. It could be part commerical (offices and/or hotel) with up to 25,000 square feet of luxury residential condos. (Courtesy Village Preservation)
