A lawsuit filed by Agallas Equities LLC against the NYC Economic Development Corporation (EDC) alleges that the selection of 8th Regiment Partners LLC for the Kingsbridge Armory redevelopment was tainted by political favoritism from city officials. The suit claims the EDC failed to properly consider Agallas' proposal, which was ready for a public announcement prior to being pulled in favor of 8th Regiment. The allegations highlight concerns about procedural fairness and corruption, as the EDC is accused of allowing 8th Regiment to modify their bid after the deadline, violating established procurement laws.
