Zoning Committee OKs Rudin’s St. Vincent’s Redevelopment

NEW YORK CITY-Fewer apartments, a new school and adaptive re-use of a historic building are all part of a new deal reached at the shuttered St. Vincent’s Hospital campus in Manhattan’s West Village between developer Rudin Management Co. and the city in attempt to address community concerns, the New York Times reported.

The project, which involves the creation of a freestanding 24-hour emergency and ambulatory surgery facility, as well as 590,000 square feet of residential mixed-use development on the east side of the site, received approval from the City Council’s Zoning and Franchises subcommittee late Wednesday. It is now up for a full City Council vote on March 28.
