Plate 3 of 102ManhattanManhattan Community Board 2

Gansevoort Square

Current zoning does not allow homes on this site, so the housing floor area is zero until the land is rezoned. The 590 homes the City's LIFT tracker lists here depend on a rezoning or other land-use approval.

In January 2025 the Mayor's Office outlined a vision of up to 600 homes on the site; none of the City documents checked gives the tracker's 590.

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.

  • The project uses part of the land shown

    The City's January 2025 request for proposals describes the housing site as about 10,000 sq ft at Little West 12th Street and 10th Avenue: part of this lot plus part of the 10th Avenue roadbed that the City expects to take over from the State. The figures here are for the whole lot.

  • Gansevoort Meat Market building; tenant agreed to leave

    The lot holds the Gansevoort Meat Market building, which MapPLUTO dates to 1949. A November 2024 City notice says Gansevoort Market, Inc. occupied the lot under a City lease made as of September 1, 1974 and running to December 31, 2032, and gave notice of a hearing on the tenant's early surrender of that lease. The City said in January 2025 that the market had chosen in August 2024 to leave early, and that the roughly 66,000 sq ft Gansevoort Square plan would bring mixed-income housing, new open space and room to expand the Whitney Museum and the High Line.

  • Rezoning through ULURP expected; not yet filed

    The lot is zoned M1-5, which does not allow homes. The City said in January 2025 it expected to start public land use review (ULURP) in late 2026. As of September 2026 the only zoning applications on file for the lot are from 2008 and 2011.

  • City property records list the lot under Parks (High Line)

    The City's property database lists this lot under NYC Parks as 'The High Line' park, and also as City property in use by a tenant, under Small Business Services and EDC. The 2025 request for proposals says the housing portion is under Small Business Services.

  • Recorded lot area may include the Whitney lot

    City tax lot data give this lot 94,394 sq ft, but its mapped outline is about 56,700 sq ft. The adjoining Whitney Museum lot is recorded as split from this lot in December 2013.

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

What binds first

Needs a rezoning

Current zoning (M1-5) does not allow homes, so no homes can be built here until the land is rezoned or another land-use approval allows them. The floor area figures above show what current zoning allows for other uses.

What gets in the way

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

  • Hazard

    In the 1% annual chance floodplain (2015 preliminary map)

    About 72% of the site (40,600 sq ft) is in FEMA's 2015 Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 1% annual chance floodplain (zone AE). NYC uses this map for flood-resistant construction rules.

  • Hazard

    In the 1% annual chance floodplain (effective 2007 map)

    About 19% of the site (10,900 sq ft) is in the 1% annual chance floodplain on FEMA's effective 2007 Flood Insurance Rate Map, which flood insurance still uses (MapPLUTO flags it too).

  • Caution

    Recorded lot area and drawn lots differ

    The recorded lot area, 94,394 sq ft, is 66% more than the drawn outlines (about 56,716 sq ft). The figures use the recorded area, so if the outlines are right they are about 66% too high. MapPLUTO does not say which is right.

  • Caution

    The lot has a building on it

    The lot has a building on record with 77,923 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1949 (MapPLUTO; gross area includes space zoning does not count). 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 that building stands.

  • Note

    Most community facilities here need a special permit

    In M1-5, only houses of worship, licensed outpatient health care facilities, and some hospitals and museums are allowed as of right (ZR 42-131, 42-132). Schools need a special permit from the Board of Standards and Appeals; libraries, community centers, non-profit institutions and most other community facilities need one from the City Planning Commission (ZR 42-133). The community facility floor area shown is what the zoning allows once a use is permitted.

  • Note

    Stormwater flooding in an extreme storm (2080s) on a small share of the site

    Less than 1% of the site (about 410 sq ft) shows nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) on DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (extreme stormwater flood with 2080 sea level rise). It is shown for reference and not counted as a flood constraint on the site.

Nearest subway station: 14 St (A C E L), 0.3 mi in a straight line.

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.

Notes
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 its lot; 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 lot area (94,394 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (community facility 613,561 sq ft), and the flags and what limits the site first. It also finds that current zoning does not allow homes on this site.

Open data issues for this site are listed on the method page.
