Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday unveiled a pair of new plans to convert vacant office buildings into housing units, saying the proposals will help create 20,000 new homes for New Yorkers.
“It’s unbelievable how much empty office space we have sitting idly by with ready and willing participants to develop the housing and we are in the way,” Adams said at a Thursday press conference. “Well, it’s time to get out of the way so we can turn these office cubicles into nice living quarters.”
