Northrup vs. Demolition: Save the Church | Real Estate News
Description
Eli Northrup, the new Assembly nominee for the Upper West Side, is making waves by backing the preservation of the historic West-Park Presbyterian Church over its demolition for a luxury condo tower. With a landmark battle heating up, Northrup’s progressive platform clashes with development interests — as actor Mark Ruffalo and a nonprofit offer alternatives to the developer’s $33M plan. Church leaders need the sale proceeds to fund social justice work, but critics fear this hardship application could weaken landmark protections citywide. Northrup’s stance signals a bold stand for community institutions — and a potential turning point in the city’s housing vs. heritage debate.
