New Urban Housing in Greater New York

September 26, 2018 • Ellen Sinreich and the New York District Council of the Urban Land Institute presented a ground-breaking program about the high-design, mixed-income, multi-scale housing that is being developed in a variety of New York City neighborhoods. High quality residential design has traditionally been associated with boutique projects for high-income occupants. Today, a new generation of developments is featuring high quality design for a mixed range of incomes in neighborhoods outside the high-end Manhattan and Brooklyn cores. These projects feature designs built around public space and smart urban strategies, accommodate a range of incomes, and benefit from the close collaboration of multiple developers and designers. The three projects that will be highlighted are The Peninsula in the Bronx, Essex Crossing on the Lower East Side, and 420 Kent in Brooklyn.
