Midtown South may get around 9,700 new homes under a rezoning plan the City Planning Commission (CPC) approved Wednesday.
Under the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan, 42 blocks between West 23rd and 40th Streets and Fifth and Eighth Avenues would be newly designated for housing development, allowing the city to repurpose office spaces. The plan now heads to City Council for a full vote to remove zoning restrictions on housing.
