Manhattan Plan

Manhattan is an economic engine, a global leader in jobs, innovation, and commerce. It has long been a place where someone could rent an apartment and start their journey. But in recent decades, this possibility has become increasingly out of reach for New Yorkers.

The Manhattan Plan is an initiative to reverse that trend by adding 100,000 new homes to the borough over the next decade, allowing Manhattan to pass the 1 million homes mark.

The initiative includes the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan that is currently underway, and it will come to encompass neighborhoods and corridors and public sites – including 100 Gold Street in the Financial District. It will make use of housing tools created through City of Yes for Housing Opportunity, including new high-density residential districts that require Mandatory Inclusionary Housing.

During 2025, there will be an engagement and planning process for the Manhattan Plan, bringing together community members and stakeholders, partner agencies, and elected officials.

More details will be announced soon; stay tuned.
