Maple Street School in talks with Lincoln Tower

Brownstoner reports that the Maple Street School is talking to the developer of the glassy tower about possibly renting the second floor commercial space to expand the school. (Apparently, the school has a waiting list of 100 children.) More here.

The real tough part with this one will be the new Dept of Health requirement for child care facilities for younger kids to be on the ground floor.

Would the developer be willing to give up prime retail frontage for MSS?

According to a reliable source at Maple Street School, I hear that Brownstoner seemed to know about this "deal" before MSS did. Intriguing, no?

Not surprising. It sounds like Ryley (the writer) simply talked to Mark Dicus, who expressed interest in the space. That certainly doesn't make it likely, let alone possible, for anything will come of it. Like you (and Dicus) said, the law doesn't allow nursery schools on the second floor.
