The proposed landmark designation for the Heckscher Building has received support from various stakeholders, including the building's owners.

  • The owner of the retail spaces supported the designation but noted the need for future flexibility in tenant storefront designs
  • The Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) recognizes the history of storefront changes and supports flexibility for future needs
  • The designation notes that multiple changes have been made to the commercial storefronts since 1922, and the current storefront infill is non-historic
