纽约华埠勿街70号历史建筑动工重建 耗资1.84亿美元2030年完工
纽约州纽约县纽约市曼哈顿华埠的历史建筑勿街70号，11月9日正式动工重建，距离2020年1月一场五级大火严重损毁这栋建筑已近七年。
勿街70号建于1893年，原为第23公立小学，20世纪70年代改为华埠社区中心，曾容纳华埠老人中心、联成体育会、陈乃霓舞蹈中心、美国华人博物馆和华埠人力中心等五个非营利团体，大火后这些团体被迫搬离。
重建方案由 Grimshaw 建筑事务所设计，将在保留两层历史立面的基础上建成一座八层文化中心，归还约5.1万平方英尺空间给原有非营利团体，并新增1.65万平方英尺社区空间，艺术家马文（Jennifer Wen Ma）将为新楼创作一件装置艺术。项目耗资1.84亿美元，高于2021年时承诺的1.7亿美元，预计2030年完工。
市长 Zohran Mamdani（佐兰·曼达尼）在声明中说，勿街70号承载着华埠社区的历史与希望，一代代居民曾在这里相聚、长者在这里找到社区、文化团体在这里守住社区传统。
Reconstruction of Chinatown's Historic 70 Mulberry Street Begins in New York, a $184 Million Project Due in 2030
NEW YORK — Reconstruction of the historic 70 Mulberry Street in Manhattan's Chinatown, New York County, New York, officially began on November 9, nearly seven years after a five-alarm fire severely damaged the building in January 2020.
Built in 1893 as Public School 23, the building became a Chinatown community center in the 1970s and housed five nonprofit groups — the Chinatown Senior Citizen Center, the United East Athletic Association, the Chen Dance Center, the Museum of Chinese in America and the Chinatown Manpower Project — all displaced by the fire.
Designed by Grimshaw Architects, the project will preserve the two-story historic facade and build an eight-story cultural hub, returning about 51,000 square feet to the nonprofit groups and adding 16,500 square feet of community space. Artist Jennifer Wen Ma will create an installation for the new building. The project now costs $184 million, up from the $170 million pledged in 2021, and is expected to be completed in 2030.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a statement that 70 Mulberry Street captures the history and hopes of the Chinatown community, a place where generations of neighbors gathered, seniors found community and cultural organizations kept the neighborhood's traditions alive.
