Abstract

The focus in Northeast Midtown on a highly lucrative and luxurious housing market resulted in a severe shortage of affordable apartments. This project shows that it is possible to develop affordable housing in Manhattan. Increased apartment density, combined with new amenities, provides the neighborhood with spaces to live, work, teach, and relax. Creating a modern, more balanced social situation.
