Yesterday saw the groundbreaking of Trinity Place, the three tower, 1,900 unit (1,100 studio units and 800 one-bedroom units) monster-development designed by Miami-based architects, Arquitectonica. Plans for the demo and reconstruction of the beleaguered Trinity Plaza on Market Street (a nasty, 360-unit converted hotel) began years ago, soon launching a spectacular shitshow of political proportions that drew in everyone from the site's owner, real estate mogul and "father of rent control" Angelo Sangiacomo, to Supervisor Christopher Daly, who initially opposed the sale of the land.
