DAILY NEWS 3 Wednesday, April 30. 1986 Gal jn 0 mm -m (S By JOAN SHEPARD r-7 f- Manhattan CuKural Aflairt Editoc The sound of money filled Carnegie Hall yesterday as Carnegie officials announced plans to lease the vacant L-shaped lot next to the hall to a developer, for a $100 million office tower. The plans for the 59-story tower were announced yesterday on the hall's famous stage by its president, Isaac Stern. The vacant lot known as the Rembrandt site-is owned by the city. The revenue to Carnegie Hall and the city will come from a 99-year lease to Rockrose Associates, the developer.

The city and the hall will split the lease income on an "almost 50-50 basis," said Larry Goldman, the head of Carnegie's real-estate department In a typical year, Goldman said, Carnegie will make about $800,000 from the deal. The tower will include 24,000 feet of space for the hall. That will provide a backstage service entry, a freight elevator, and the expansion of rehearsal space, dressing rooms, and lounges. In addition, space for Carnegie Recital Hall will be increased. There will be 490,000 gross square feet in the commercial section, with floor sizes ranging from 6,700 to 12,200 square feet.

Before ground can be broken, the project must be approved by the city's Landmark Preservation Commission, the City Planning Commission, Community Board 5, and the Board of Because this approval process is lengthy, work cannot begin before 1987, said Steven Spinola, the president of the New York City Public Development Corporation. Th architect for the project is Caesar Pelli. who has designed a brick building to complement the 95-year-old concert hall, which is both a city and federal landmark. The new tower's brick will complement the color and texture of the brick of the hall. "This is not an extension of Carnegie Hall," Pelli said, "but a sympathetic addition, a family member." Carnegie Hall was built between 1889 and 1896.

It was designed by architect William Tuthill. a i i i l' 8, i a yji It I I 7 FROM PARiUIVQ LOTtOt the left. SPRINQ tower dwarfing Camegte Hall. By KATHY LARKIN M. 1 r( I Daily Nwt Society Editor They're not off and running just yet.
