Meatpacking District to Transform with New Housing and Cultural Hub

New York City plans to redevelop the last meat market site into a mixed-use space with affordable housing and expanded cultural facilities.

  • The redevelopment plan includes 600 mixed-income apartments, with half designated as affordable housing.
  • The site will feature an 11,200-square-foot public open space, potentially managed by the High Line.
  • The Whitney Museum and Friends of the High Line are in talks to expand their facilities on the newly available site.
  • Mayor Eric Adams and city officials are promoting the project as a significant urban development opportunity.
  • The current meat market tenants have agreed to vacate the premises ahead of their lease expiration due to outdated facilities.
