... no not calatrava's. it's a development project by ratner associates:
Ratner Tower
New York Post:
STEVE CUOZZO
Brooklyn-based Forest City Ratner just beat out a brace of bidders for NYU Downtown Hospital's coveted parking lot - where a huge tower can be built without zoning changes.
The lot, across from Pace University and City Hall Park, can accommodate a tower of up to 818,000 square feet.
It's an opportunity in a thriving downtown residential market for a building with stupendous harbor and skyline views, but the project would likely combine apartments with what sources called "institutional" uses.
Issues to be resolved include certain amenities Ratner would provide for NYU Downtown, including a new ambulatory care unit. The hospital may also have a say in the new building's design because "it's right at their doorstep," a source noted.
The Post's Lois Weiss first reported last July that NYU Downtown was taking offers on the lot, bounded by the hospital on the east end and by Beekman, Spruce, and William streets

The project does exist. It's currently in schematics, but the deal is not done. The tower currently tops out at around 75 stories.
