Thousands of housing units, missed deadlines and another boost for federal housing tax credits.
These describe some of the most important home -related headlines of the week. Exciting, right?
The first refers to the Midtown South Restoneing, which could pave the road for around 9,500 new residential units in the coming decade. This week, the city council has cut some Midblock properties in the clothing district and reduced residential density in the southeastern part of the re -use in a nod to the manufacturers who are still active in the neighborhood. The changes reduced the housing projections by 140-like units.
The fact that the clothing district is only affected parts of the Midblocks is the key.
To release all Midblock areas on the 36th and 40th streets between the seventh and eighth roads, many more housing options would have eliminated. According to my count, at least 458 units of projected homes in six real estate would have been shaved from the production numbers estimated by the city planning as a residential removed from all Midblocks in that area (the subcommittee meeting of the municipal council on Wednesday let it sound as if that was the change).
The language for the changes was released on Thursday evening, which cleaned things a bit, but not before I had printed cards from Midtown South and emphasized the properties on the Midblocks where housing would be lost, like a crazy person.
Anyway, some have questioned the wisdom of the carveout, even if it is more surgical than what was previously proposed.
“This area has long since ceased to record meaningful production activities, let alone clothing factories or meeting,” says Herrick’s Mitch Korbey. “The planning committee saw this and in the right way called for a re-use-We must trust and adhere to the thoughtful and careful planning work that the experts do. Maintaining the production zoning where there is no production tracks or activity, is not a good planning-it will simply have empty or under-enforceable life that houses a new and disorder.”
Council members said the changes were made to maintain the unique ecosystem of companies of companies and to ensure that “new homes and new business growth can thrive side by side.”
This week, too, the state held a meeting about the MegaDevelopment Pacific Park, which – by its own deadlines of the state – should have taken conversations about a newly approved development team for the project. Unfortunately, the meeting was largely about why the meeting was not About the newly approved developers.
Empire State Development said earlier that a new development team would be approved and the development rights for six of the Pacific Park locations that were transferred before 1 August. That did not happen, according to state officials, because the proposed development team – Cirrus and LCOR – also applied to take over another real estate that is known as site 5. The officials said they need more time to revise more time to revise more time. They hope to finish this somewhere in September. Maybe. View my story for a complete overview.
At the federal level, housing groups celebrated the decision of the Federal Housing Finance Agency this week to increase the amount that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can invest in home tax credits with a low income. Each can now invest $ 2 billion, higher than the $ 1 billion cap set last year.
The change comes after the “large, beautiful” reconciliation account has expanded the tax credits. According to David Dworkin of the National Housing Conference, the increase is an important addition to the credit expansion, because it will help “to ensure that the market will absorb the extra credits without reducing their value.”

The investigation concerns two separate cases from James’ office: the case in which President Trump and his organization were held liable for fraud and a case with regard to the tax fraud of the National Rifle Association. This follows the probe of the FBI in the real estate acts of the AG.
– Andrew Cuomo presented his affordability plan during a press conference on Thursday, comparing his agenda with Zohran Mamdanis, which he called irresponsibly and unrealistic, Amny Reports. Cuomo outlined his plans for transport, groceries, wages and taxes. This is the second briefing of its kind, after Monday’s discussion about crime and public safety.
– Mayor Eric Adams opened a new campaign office in Mill Basin. One problem: the building still has a complete assignment still in place, according to the city. In 2023, the parapet of the building collapsed, so that the Ministry of Buildings issued the vacancy order that is still in force. Although the wall has been repaired, the building must be re -inspected before the campaign office can open. – Quinn Waller
