is looking at rezoning barely used manufacturing centers in the Garment District and Chelsea for residential use to help ease the Big Apple’s housing crisis.
The most dramatic of the proposals calls for a re-examination of the old manufacturing districts in Midtown’s southern quadrant, which stretch roughly from West 23rd Street to West 40th Street between Fifth and Eighth avenues. Mayor Eric Adams is looking at rezoning barely used manufacturing centers in the Garment District and Chelsea for residential use to help ease the Big Apple’s housing crisis.The proposed changes were endorsed by two key figures in any rezoning, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine and the local councilman, Erik Bottcher , whose thumbs-up is essential for approval from the full council.
The focus is primarily on turning empty older buildings into apartments across more than 40 blocks, which could result in as many as 20,000 new homes.The changes to the city’s office conversion regulations would allow commercial buildings built before 1990 to qualify, expanding the current cutoffs, which are usually 1961 or 1977, depending on their location.
