Midtown South is being rezoned under the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan, which aims to create 9,535 new housing units, with 2,842 designated as affordable. This represents the largest residential rezoning effort in 20 years. The new plan introduces two high-density residential districts that allow building heights up to 15 and 18 times larger than the lot size. It is a response to the ongoing housing crisis in New York City, facilitated by Mayor Eric Adams' housing initiatives, with a goal of producing 100,000 new units in Manhattan.
City Council unanimously approved the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan, rezoning 42 blocks for housing development, expected to net 9,535 housing units, including 2,842 affordable units.
The rezoning creates two new high-density residential districts, allowing construction of housing projects up to 15 and 18 times the size of their lots, addressing the city-wide housing crisis.
