Looking ahead to the new administration, incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani has stated he will advance the affordable housing project at the garden site once he takes office. amNewYork contacted the developer Pennrose for the company's thoughts on the deal, but is awaiting a response."
"Mastro's letter, which is addressed to Dylan Salmons of Pennrose, the lead firm involved in the lawsuit, said the administration has support for the deal from NYC Council Member Chris Marte, who represents the district. Based on discussions with the council member representing the district, the administration secured a written commitment to support the necessary rezoning and related land-use actions to facilitate the development of a housing project at this site, Mastro wrote."

The proposal includes developing over 200 all-affordable units at a nearby publicly owned 15,000-square-foot lot at 22 Suffolk St. The administration says it secured NYC Council Member Chris Marte's written commitment to support necessary rezoning and land-use actions for the project. Incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said he will advance the housing project once in office.
