currently under construction. For example, I was asked to find out if this rumor was true:

Just learned from a Southtown resident, who claims he closely follows real estate, that the new Building 7, currently being constructed, has been purchased 100% by Cornell.... This could be true or just a rumor.

I asked Hudson Related's David Kramer about the claim and he said it was absolutely untrue.

Another rumor at the same time was that Cornell was interested in buying

Westview.

During July 27 meeting of the Roosevelt Island Cornell Construction and Community Task Force, member Ellen Polivy asked Cornell NYC Tech Director Of Capital Planning Andrew Winters and Assistant Director of Government and Community Relations Jane Swanson about these rumors.

Mr. Winters and Ms. Swanson replied that there was no truth to either of the rumors. Cornell NYC Tech will only have residences on campus said Ms. Swanson.

Here's the question and answer.



Will have more on Hudson Related's Buildings 7 -9 soon.
