Calling All Affordable Developers: Consider the Inwood Library

Affordable housing developers have a chance to build on a prime development site in Manhattan’s Inwood neighborhood — the current site of the Inwood Public Library.

“Through this project, we will be able to renew the Inwood Public Library, provide a brand new Universal Pre-Kindergarten facility, and create 100 percent affordable housing for New Yorkers,” said Maria Torres-Springer, commissioner of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

To win the right to build on the site at 4790 Broadway, developers will have to submit proposals for a new mixed-use project that meet the desires of the people who live in the neighborhood.

“Listening to voices in the neighborhood is a crucial part of our planning process, and this feedback is reflected throughout the Inwood request for proposals,” said Torres-Springer.

The deadline for submissions is November 20, 2017.
