NYU’s 181 Mercer building is topping out. As part of the NYU rezoning, our city has the option to build a 100,000 SF school on the same block. If the city fails to exercise this option, the space would almost entirely revert back to NYU a transfer of $65+ million in value from NYC taxpayers to NYU.
