Chinatown jail could not be completed until 2032 — five years after 2027 Rikers closure date

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on January 23, 2025

New York City proposed on Thursday a new contract for building the Manhattan borough-based jail to replace Rikers Island that extends the facility’s construction timeline five years beyond the mandated 2027 closure date for the jail complex.

The jail — which is planned to rise at 124-125 White St. in Chinatown, on the former site of “The Tombs” — will also have increased capacity with 154 more beds than initially proposed, bringing the total number of beds to 1,040. The nearly $3.8 billion contract was awarded by the city Department of Design and Construction to Tutor Perini O & G Industries.
