Tribeca Park Tenants Secure Long-Term Affordable Rent Deal in Battery Park City

How individual properties navigate renewals and renegotiations — and which tenants have the organizing capacity to influence those outcomes — is increasingly a defining question for urban housing policy in high-cost American cities.
