A FiDi redevelopment is shifting ahead, now with 8 p.c extra housing items.
The town-owned places of work at 100 Gold Road shall be transformed to 4,000 residences, up from the three,700 that had been introduced final 12 months, in line with town’s Financial Growth Company. The town will maintain a scoping listening to subsequent month to tell an environmental impression assertion.
That kickstarts the method to lastly get housing constructed on the positioning of the growing older workplace constructing, residence to NYC’s Division of Housing Preservation and Growth. The general public land use assessment course of is prone to start in 2027.
Because it stands at present, 100 Gold Road isn’t that outdated. The nine-story constructing was accomplished within the Sixties and bought by town in 1993 for $36.9 million. However I visited the positioning earlier this 12 months to interview housing commissioner Dina Levy, and I see why EDC may say the constructing would take “intensive repairs to proceed serving civil servants and the general public safely and successfully.” Nothing appeared unsafe, however the constructing is kind of shabby and dated.
The developer behind the brand new venture is Jeff Gural’s GFP Real Estate, which gained a request for proposals in December of 2025. (When the profitable bid was introduced, throughout the administration of Mayor Eric Adams, the City Reporter famous that Gural had made a hefty donation to Adams’ re-election bid; Gural informed the outlet he didn’t have something to do with the bid, whereas EDC mentioned the bidding course of had been aggressive and donations had nothing to do with the choice.)
GFP will construct the 4,000 items, one-quarter of them inexpensive housing, whereas collaborating below the 485x tax abatement program. The tax plan permits builders to forgo property taxes for many years in the event that they construct rental housing at sure affordability ranges.
The up to date plan gives an early have a look at how Mayor Zohran Mamdani will deal with improvement of city-run property, in addition to tasks inherited from the Adams administration. If the 100 Gold Road announcement is any indication, it appears Mamdani is, not less than in some conditions, joyful to squeeze extra market-rate items out of a venture.
The town businesses presently housed at 100 Gold, together with HPD, shall be moved to “fashionable workplace area,” per EDC. The senior heart presently run by Hamilton-Madison Home on the positioning shall be changed, and a industrial health heart shall be added.
