What do we know about what NYCHA is doing or proposing here?

Despite resident opposition and NYCHA's withdrawl of its application to HUD in 2019, NYCHA's Annual Plans each year contain this paragraph: 

Holmes Towers, Manhattan – NYCHA intends to lease a parcel of approximately 20,660 square feet on Block 1573, Lot 20 with approximately 330,368 square feet of development rights for market rate and affordable housing development. NYCHA in collaboration with HPD issued an RFP in Spring 2016 and a developer was designated in Spring 2017. A Section 18 Application was submitted in 2019 but was subsequently withdrawn. No engagement or activities are currently taking place.
