Elizabeth Street Garden: Park vs. Housing
Update: 2025-12-29
Description
Mayor Adams Proposed Deal: Preserve Elizabeth Street Garden, Build Affordable Housing ElsewhereThe outgoing administration of Mayor Eric Adams has proposed a deal to end the long-standing dispute over the Elizabeth Street Garden in Nolita. The plan involves preserving the small green space as protected parkland while offering developers a larger site nearby for over two hundred all-affordable housing units. The deal, backed by City Council Member Chris Marte, requires developers to accept by December 31st. This comes after years of tension, with the gardens neighbors fighting to save it for over a decade. Incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani plans to push forward with affordable housing on the garden site once he takes office, keeping the battle between green space and housing unresolved.
