b)                     an Urban Development Action Area Project for such area (the "Project"); and

 

pursuant to Section 197-c of the New York City Charter for the disposition of such property to a developer selected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development to facilitate the development of two buildings, tentatively known as The Gateway and Lore Condominiums, with approximately 125 residential units and commercial space  (the "Disposition"), Community District 10, Borough of Manhattan  (ULURP No. C 060240 HAM) (the "Application");
