The city has scheduled a public hearing regarding the development for October.
New York City is looking to redevelop a city-owned property that currently houses city agencies into a new community of NYC residents, with 4,000 new homes, a fitness center and 40,000 feet of neighborhood amenities planned. New Yorkers will get to attend a public hearing in October regarding the mega-development.
A quarter of the units in the proposed development will be rent-stabilized and permanently affordable, Willow Higgins writes for Gothamist. The project is now four times as large as it was when former Mayor Erid Adams introduced it in 2025.
Gothamist reports:
“New York’s housing crisis demands that we build more — and that we use every tool we have to do it,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a statement. “That means looking at land the City already owns and asking how it can serve New Yorkers better.”
