The latest word from Baltic Street, where residents have been up in arms over plans for a 118-foot tower, is that developer Joe Chan has made some conciliatory moves recently that suggest he may actually be taking some of the community feedback to heart. From what we gather, Chan had a meeting last week with Richard Bearak from Marty Markowitz’s office to which he brought his new “design architect” and “community liaison” Peter Himmelstein. According to Himmelstein, the team is doing a new zoning analysis and rethinking all their options. This could be a giant p.r. stunt for all we know, but it certainly seems like a positive development (no pun intended).
