Lower Manhattan City Council Member Christopher Marte (D), along with a coalition of four SoHo and NoHo community groups and some area residents, filed a motion on Wednesday to intervene in New York University’s challenge to the 2021 SoHo/NoHo Rezoning in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Attorneys Jack Lester, Lawrence K. Marks and Richard Braun filed the motion on behalf of Marte and the community groups. It came in response to a suit brought by NYU last April against the city, which challenged the constitutionality of the rezoning based on its “across-the-board” exclusion of university and college educational uses from the new mixed-use developments and seeks to overturn that provision.
