A State Supreme Court judge extended an injunction on Thursday against a proposed redevelopment project on Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District, according to DNAinfo.com.
Judge Joan Lobis blocked progress on the development of two new buildings on the corner of Gansevoort St. and Washington St. that opponents of the project say is out of context with the neighborhood.
Developers Aurora Capital Associates and William Gottlieb Real Estate received permission from the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission last year to redevelop the entire south side of Gansevoort Street from Ninth Ave. to Washington St. A group called Save Gansevoort launched a lawsuit in response late last year in an attempt to stop the project. Last week, the group won a temporary injunction in court.

The court’s decision to extend that injunction is aimed at two buildings that developers want to replace with taller structures. The developers can proceed with planned work to renovate three other buildings along the block, including 52-58 Gansevoort St., where the developers have signed a lease with the restaurant Pastis. The developers argued that delaying work there by even three months would potentially affect its deal with Pastis.
The next step in the suit is to decide how much bond money Save Gansevoort will have to post to compensate the developers for the delays and legal fees if it ultimately loses the case.
