NEW YORK CITY-The project, a mixed-use development on Manhattan’s Far West Side, will include more than 1,200 residential units, approximately half designated for affordable housing.

NEW YORK CITY-In the third major groundbreaking on Manhattan’s Far West Side within the past seven days, developer the Gotham Organization broke ground with city and state officials on Gotham West, a mixed-use 1,200-unit multifamily community spanning West 44th to West 45th Streets from 10th to 11th Avenue on Monday afternoon. Anchoring the $550 million development will be a 31-story tower located on the corner of 45th St. and 11th Ave., which will include approximately 550 luxury apartments. Surrounding the tower will be three- low-rise properties with some 700 affordable units, a 10,000-square-foot interior courtyard and a new public school.

Against the background of the active construction site, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the property was once underutilized, city-controlled land that was slated for redevelopment back in 1975. Four decades later, it will be used to provide new homes for some 2,500 New Yorkers. “We always believed that the Far West Side of Manhattan had the potential for providing what our growing city needs, and that’s more jobs for New Yorkers and more affordable housing for them to live in,” Bloomberg said at the press conference.
