Correction: Citing Brownstoner in a July 31 web story, The Real Deal incorrectly characterized modifications the Lightstone Group is proposing to Toll Brothers’ former plans for a Gowanus Canal development site. Lightstone is not seeking additional height and will not go through the ULURP process, a spokesperson for the firm said. Rather it is seeking a “minor modification” through the Department of City Planning to alter the arrangement of affordable housing within the same size and square footage for which Toll Brothers was approved. Based on the Brownstoner report, The Real Deal also incorrectly relayed the timetable for construction on the proposed project. It could break ground as early as 2013.
