City Issues RFP for Gansevoort Square Redevelopment

The New York City Economic Development Corporation has issued a Request for Proposals to reimagine Gansevoort Square, located on Little West 12th Street between Washington Street and 10th Avenue in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. The RFP calls for up to 600 units of mixed-income housing, with a goal of 50% of total units being permanently affordable, and ground-floor retail space. 

First announced this past October, the redevelopment will transform the approximately 66,000 square feet at Gansevoort Square into mixed-income housing units, new open space, and the opportunity to expand the Whitney Museum of American Art and the High Line.

“The Adams administration is committed to rapidly increasing affordable housing for all New Yorkers,” said First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer. “At Gansevoort Square, we will address the city’s urgent housing needs, generate thousands of jobs and create vibrant, new open spaces for those who live, work and play in the Meatpacking District.”
