This transformative redevelopment project, led by NYCHA, Essence Development, and Related Companies, reimagines public housing in the Chelsea neighborhood. The initiative includes the replacement of 2,056 NYCHA apartments with modern, energy-efficient homes while maintaining full affordability protections for existing residents.

Key elements include enhanced layouts, improved ventilation, resident-controlled climate systems, and added community amenities like a healthcare facility, affordable grocer, and outdoor spaces. The phased construction plan ensures minimal disruption, allowing residents to transition directly into their new homes. Currently in progress, this project underscores a commitment to sustainability, inclusivity, and community enhancement, setting a benchmark for public housing redevelopment
