Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady LLP
 
Historic Preservation

The Firm has been active in a number of matters involving the preservation of landmarks throughout New York City. We currently represent the New York City Council, Friends of the High Line, and a group of developers, architects, government officials, and Chelsea and Greenwich Village residents in their effort to turn an unused elevated rail line on the lower West Side of Manhattan into a public promenade. Our representation of Friends of the High Line has required aggressive litigation in state trial and appellate courts and careful coordination with political and public relations strategies to receive the desired result.
