Applicant outlines ULURP timetable; construction unlikely for three to four years

Richard Bass explained the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) steps — community board, borough president, planning commission and city council — and gave an estimated schedule if certification occurred in November or December. "Once that's approved by DOB that the building meets their criteria, uh it will take 12 to 18 months to build. So you won't see a building there for 3 to four years at best," he said.

Bass cautioned that factors beyond local control — financing, interest rates, tariffs and market conditions — could delay or lengthen that timeline, and said he expected to return to the committee with a more refined schedule when the application is certified.
