NY State Issues RFP for Hell’s Kitchen Parcel Near Intrepid Museum

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday announced a Request for Proposals for the redevelopment of 621 W. 45th St., a state-owned parcel near the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan. The project represents an opportunity to transform one of the largest undeveloped parcels on Manhattan’s Far West Side into residential and mixed-use development.

“By transforming this underutilized state-owned property into a dynamic mixed-use development with a significant affordable housing component, we’re taking aim at low housing supply in a high-demand area and building a stronger community for residents in Hell’s Kitchen and beyond,” said Hochul.

The site, currently used as a surface parking lot, spans approximately 50,584 square feet along the east blockfront of Twelfth Avenue between West 45th and West 46th streets. Applicants can view the RFP here and submit a proposal to Empire State Development by May 15.
