City Hopes to Turn NYPD Parking Lot Into 100 Percent Affordable Housing
(DNAINFO) Rosa Goldensohn — A city-owned parking lot at Eleventh Avenue and West 39th Street took one step closer to becoming a fully affordable apartment building, the city’s Economic Development Corporation confirmed Friday.
The city will put out a request for proposals this summer with its goals for the space, which has been used as an NYPD parking lot for decades. The city’s RFP for the space would include commercial and community space in addition to the maximum number of affordable units, according to spokeswoman Kelly Magee.
The EDC said their goal is for the building to be 100 percent affordable housing, but the total number of affordable units will ultimately depend on the developer’s plans.
