Fulton & Elliott - Chelsea Houses

This site can hold about 4,790–6,785 homes under the zoning maximum for qualifying affordable housing. The City's LIFT tracker lists ~3,500 homes.

NYCHA said in July 2026 that about 3,500 new mixed-income homes will be added across the campuses, on top of rebuilding all 2,056 existing NYCHA homes. The plan depends on a rezoning.

What City documents say

Facts from City documents that bear on the figures below. Each is quoted in the sources, and each speaks as of its document's date.

  • 2,056 occupied NYCHA homes to be demolished and rebuilt

    The two campuses hold 2,056 NYCHA homes in 18 residential buildings, plus community and garage buildings. The plan chosen in the City's July 2025 environmental decision demolishes and replaces all existing buildings in stages; NYCHA said in July 2026 that all 2,056 homes will be rebuilt for current residents.

  • Community centers and a daycare on the campuses

    The campuses include about 56,900 sq ft of neighborhood center space and a 10,300 sq ft daycare (July 2025), which the plan would demolish and replace.

  • Needs rezoning, MIH and a large-scale permit via ULURP

    The chosen plan needs City approval through ULURP of zoning map and text changes, including Mandatory Inclusionary Housing, and a large-scale development special permit (July 2025).

  • Federal RAD approval reissued July 2026

    NYCHA said on July 22, 2026 that HUD had reissued its RAD conversion commitments, approving the first phase of the redevelopment under the PACT program after a court-ordered stay was lifted.

  • Western Fulton lots partly in Special West Chelsea District

    The western parts of the Fulton Houses on Blocks 714 and 715 are zoned C6-3 in the Special West Chelsea District; the rest of both campuses is R8 (July 2025).

  • A way the map shows is not a street

    The City's 2025 Record of Decision describes West 27th Drive as a narrow one-way private driveway that is not a mapped street; its westbound part runs in the bed of a demapped stretch of West 27th Street. A private road is not a street under the Zoning Resolution (ZR 12-10), so the drive does not count as a wide street here, and land near it takes the narrow-street figures.

Floor area follows exactly from the Zoning Resolution. Homes are a range, because unit size and building efficiency are choices.

What binds first

Split zoning (needs a closer read)

2 lots are divided between zoning districts (C6-3 and R8), each covering at least a tenth of each lot. Floor area is computed portion by portion. Where the district line falls on the lot shapes what can go where, so the figures above deserve a closer read against the zoning map.

What gets in the way

Flags are flags, not verdicts. Each comes from a public layer, named in the sources.

  • Hazard

    In the 0.2% annual chance floodplain (2015 preliminary map)

    About 24% of the site (134,300 sq ft) is in the shaded X zone of FEMA's 2015 Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map, between the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floodplains.

  • Hazard

    Stormwater flooding in an extreme storm (2080s)

    DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (extreme stormwater flood with 2080 sea level rise) shows nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) and deep and contiguous flooding (1 ft or more) on about 9% of the site (52,200 sq ft).

  • Caution

    Block 714 lot 31 would have lower floor area as a HUD Section 18 site

    NYCHA owns block 714 lot 31, zoned R8 and C6-3. If selling or leasing it for development needs HUD approval under Section 18 of the Housing Act of 1937, ZR 23-06 applies. Its existing 25-story, 218.5 ft building is taller than R8 allows for standard residences (135 ft at most, ZR 23-432), so new homes would have to follow the sky exposure plane rules, whose floor area ratio of at most 6.02 (about 413,084 sq ft on the lot's R8 part) applies to affordable housing too (ZR 23-732). Qualifying senior housing and MIH developments on MIH sites are exempt. The figures above do not apply this.

  • Caution

    Block 715 lot 10 would have lower floor area as a HUD Section 18 site

    NYCHA owns block 715 lot 10, zoned R8 and C6-3. If selling or leasing it for development needs HUD approval under Section 18 of the Housing Act of 1937, ZR 23-06 applies. Its existing 25-story, 232 ft building is taller than R8 allows for standard residences (135 ft at most, ZR 23-432), so new homes would have to follow the sky exposure plane rules, whose floor area ratio of at most 6.02 (about 441,126 sq ft on the lot's R8 part) applies to affordable housing too (ZR 23-732). Qualifying senior housing and MIH developments on MIH sites are exempt. The figures above do not apply this.

  • Caution

    Block 716 lot 17 would have lower floor area as a HUD Section 18 site

    NYCHA owns block 716 lot 17, zoned R8. If selling or leasing it for development needs HUD approval under Section 18 of the Housing Act of 1937, ZR 23-06 applies. Its existing 25-story, 218.5 ft building is taller than R8 allows for standard residences (135 ft at most, ZR 23-432), so new homes would have to follow the sky exposure plane rules, whose floor area ratio of at most 6.02 (about 376,611 sq ft on this lot) applies to affordable housing too (ZR 23-732). Qualifying senior housing and MIH developments on MIH sites are exempt. The figures above do not apply this.

  • Caution

    Block 723 lot 15 would have lower floor area as a HUD Section 18 site

    NYCHA owns block 723 lot 15, zoned R8. If selling or leasing it for development needs HUD approval under Section 18 of the Housing Act of 1937, ZR 23-06 applies. Its existing 21-story, 187 ft building is taller than R8 allows for standard residences (135 ft at most, ZR 23-432), so new homes would have to follow the sky exposure plane rules, whose floor area ratio of at most 6.02 (about 445,853 sq ft on this lot) applies to affordable housing too (ZR 23-732). Qualifying senior housing and MIH developments on MIH sites are exempt. The figures above do not apply this.

  • Caution

    Every lot has a building on it

    Block 714 lot 31 has 4 buildings on record with 298,470 sq ft of gross building area and 34 homes, completed around 1963; Block 715 lot 10 has 4 buildings on record with 253,070 sq ft of gross building area and 272 homes, completed around 1965; Block 716 lot 17 has 3 buildings on record with 253,070 sq ft of gross building area and 36 homes, completed around 1963; Block 717 lot 19 has a building on record with 45,420 sq ft of gross building area and 36 homes, completed around 1965; Block 723 lot 1 has 2 buildings on record with 325,140 sq ft of gross building area and 240 homes, completed around 1940; Block 723 lot 15 has 2 buildings on record with 567,000 sq ft of gross building area and 425 homes, completed around 1962; and 3 more lots (MapPLUTO; gross area includes space zoning does not count). The City's July 2025 environmental decision counts 2,056 NYCHA homes on the two campuses, in buildings of up to 25 stories; MapPLUTO counts 1,380 homes on these lots. Zoning counts floor area already on a lot toward its maximum, so the figures above are the most the land could hold in total, not what could be added while those buildings stand.

  • Caution

    In the Special West Chelsea District

    Its floor area rules are not applied here, so the figures above use the underlying district's rules.

  • Caution

    Owned by NYCHA, not the City

    MapPLUTO records all 9 lots under the New York City Housing Authority (owner recorded as “NYC HOUSING AUTHORITY”), a public authority, not the City.

  • Caution

    Split zoning

    2 lots are divided between zoning districts (C6-3 and R8), each covering at least a tenth of each lot. Floor area is computed portion by portion.

  • Note

    Block 717 lot 19 has its own bulk rules as a HUD Section 18 site

    NYCHA owns block 717 lot 19, zoned R8. If selling or leasing it for development needs HUD approval under Section 18 of the Housing Act of 1937, ZR 23-06 applies. The existing 7-story, 62 ft building is no taller than R8 allows for standard residences (115 to 135 ft, ZR 23-432), so floor area would not change, unless the zoning lot takes in a taller building nearby, which would make the sky exposure plane rules mandatory. Qualifying senior housing and MIH developments on MIH sites are exempt.

  • Note

    Block 723 lot 1 has its own bulk rules as a HUD Section 18 site

    NYCHA owns block 723 lot 1, zoned R8. If selling or leasing it for development needs HUD approval under Section 18 of the Housing Act of 1937, ZR 23-06 applies. The existing 11-story, 98.5 ft building is no taller than R8 allows for standard residences (115 to 135 ft, ZR 23-432), so floor area would not change, unless the zoning lot takes in a taller building nearby, which would make the sky exposure plane rules mandatory. Qualifying senior housing and MIH developments on MIH sites are exempt.

  • Note

    Block 724 lot 1 has its own bulk rules as a HUD Section 18 site

    NYCHA owns block 724 lot 1, zoned R8. If selling or leasing it for development needs HUD approval under Section 18 of the Housing Act of 1937, ZR 23-06 applies. The existing 12-story, 107 ft building is no taller than R8 allows for standard residences (115 to 135 ft, ZR 23-432), so floor area would not change, unless the zoning lot takes in a taller building nearby, which would make the sky exposure plane rules mandatory. Qualifying senior housing and MIH developments on MIH sites are exempt.

  • Note

    Block 724 lot 10 has its own bulk rules as a HUD Section 18 site

    NYCHA owns block 724 lot 10, zoned R8. If selling or leasing it for development needs HUD approval under Section 18 of the Housing Act of 1937, ZR 23-06 applies. The existing 14-story, 125 ft building is no taller than R8 allows for standard residences (115 to 135 ft, ZR 23-432), so floor area would not change if that holds, unless the zoning lot takes in a taller building nearby, which would make the sky exposure plane rules mandatory. Qualifying senior housing and MIH developments on MIH sites are exempt.

  • Note

    Block 724 lot 15 has its own bulk rules as a HUD Section 18 site

    NYCHA owns block 724 lot 15, zoned R8. If selling or leasing it for development needs HUD approval under Section 18 of the Housing Act of 1937, ZR 23-06 applies. The existing 12-story, 107 ft building is no taller than R8 allows for standard residences (115 to 135 ft, ZR 23-432), so floor area would not change, unless the zoning lot takes in a taller building nearby, which would make the sky exposure plane rules mandatory. Qualifying senior housing and MIH developments on MIH sites are exempt.

What this doesn't account for

Public data and the zoning text answer the questions above. These need information that is not public, or a decision that belongs to the City.

  • Public land use review (ULURP). Selling or leasing City land, or approving a housing project on it, generally goes through ULURP (community board, borough president, City Planning Commission, City Council), and this estimate does not presume the outcome.
  • Disposition of City property (Charter 384 / UDAAP). Transferring the land needs Mayoral approval under Charter Sec. 384 and, for HPD projects, usually Urban Development Action Area designation and project approval under NY General Municipal Law Article 16.
  • Environmental review (CEQR/SEQRA). Any discretionary approval, disposition or City funding triggers CEQR/SEQRA review, which can require mitigation (e.g. for hazardous materials, noise or historic resources) or reshape the project.
  • (E) designations. A lot with an (E) designation or environmental restrictive declaration for hazardous materials, air quality or noise cannot receive building permits until the Office of Environmental Remediation signs off.
  • Subsurface and site conditions. Unknown soil, rock, groundwater and contamination can shrink or eliminate cellars and add foundation and cleanup costs, and HPD requires every project to investigate and, if needed, remediate contamination.
  • Deed restrictions and reverter clauses. Land the City bought or sold may carry deed restrictions or reverter clauses limiting its use, which must be checked in title records (ACRIS) and DCAS's deed-restriction database.
  • Parkland alienation. If a site is municipal parkland, it cannot be sold or used for housing without an act of the State Legislature signed by the Governor.
  • Current occupants, uses and agency plans. Many City-owned lots are in active use or assigned to an agency, or have funded capital projects, and this estimate does not reflect relocation needs or agency plans (check COLP and the Capital Commitment Plan).
  • Mapped streets, easements and utilities. Mapped-but-unbuilt ('paper') streets, sewer and water easements and utility lines can take land out of the buildable area, and no permit may be issued for a building in the bed of a mapped street.
  • Street access. A lot with no frontage on a mapped street cannot get a building permit on its own and must be combined with a neighboring lot or have access mapped.
  • Landmarks review. Sites that are individual landmarks or inside historic districts need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, which can limit demolition, height and bulk.
  • Flood-resistant construction. Sites in the 1% annual chance floodplain (or the 0.2% shaded X-Zone for critical facilities) must meet Building Code Appendix G, whose elevation and floodproofing rules can cost usable ground-floor and cellar space.
  • Airport height limits. Near JFK, LaGuardia and Floyd Bennett Field, zoning flight-obstruction surfaces cap building height, and tall structures anywhere need FAA notice.
  • State and federal funding conditions. Federal or State money brings its own requirements (e.g. HUD environmental review under 24 CFR Part 58, Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, Section 3 hiring) that can change cost, timing and program.
  • Zoning capacity is a ceiling, not a plan. The figures show what zoning allows, and actual HPD projects often build less, for example to fit neighborhood context, a community facility or funding limits.

On September 25, 2026, the MapPLUTO records and zoning district map behind this page were compared with DCP's live MapPLUTO (26v2) and zoning district layers for all 9 of its lots; every compared field and district boundary matched. A separate calculation, written from the method page and run on the same downloaded City data on September 25, 2026, reproduced the 9 lots and their area (540,568 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 3,426,779; with qualifying affordable or senior housing 4,102,375; community facility 3,612,436 sq ft), the homes (low 4,794, base 5,934, high 6,784), and the flags and what limits the site first.
