In the preservation of Elizabeth Street Garden in New York City and its community, the ESG organization has announced new affordable housing units will be built nearby. 

With the support from Mayor Adams and councilmember Marte’s dedication, the delivery of homes on the Bowery and Suffolk street will take place while preserving the  garden. 

Through zoning actions at a privately owned site two blocks away on the Bowery, a vacant city-owned property on Suffolk street and more affordable housing at 100 Gold street. 

The project will bring a total of 623 affordable units, alongside hundreds of more homes, whilst preserving and increasing green space in New york.

The garden says “with the city now embracing the garden, we remain firmly committed to ensuring that the housing agreements are fully realized and that affordable homes are delivered as quickly as possible”.
