, a long-stalled affordable housing project proposed for Manhattan’s Little Italy, say they plan to break ground later this summer, after a court ruling cleared the way for the development this week.
Matthew Dunbar, chief strategy officer and interim co-CEO of the nonprofit Habitat for Humanity, said in a statement that his organization and the lead developer, Philadelphia-based Pennrose, were “thankful” for the New York Court of Appeals ruling that allows the project to proceed. The opinion on Tuesday from the state’s highest court was a defeat for backers of the Elizabeth Street Garden, which has occupied the leased, city-owned property since 2005.
According to the developers, construction of the seven-story, mixed-use development will take two years. It will mark the end of the community garden.
