100 Gold Street Conversion in Financial District Boosted to 4,000 Housing Units
What happened
The Mamdani administration and GFP Development announced that the office-to-residential conversion of 100 Gold Street in Manhattan’s Financial District is increasing its planned housing units. The project is now expected to deliver 4,000 housing units, an increase from the original 3,700 units. The conversion will also include a 40,000-square-foot community fitness center for Hamilton-Madison House and public realm improvements.
Why it matters
The Mamdani administration stated that the project represents the single largest infusion of new affordable housing in the area in decades. The conversion will provide 1,000 affordable units, which the administration claims is twice the amount produced by Manhattan’s Community Board 1 in the last decade.
Companies are moving into Lower Manhattan's Financial District, driven by redevelopment efforts.
