Essex Crossing
A 1.65M sq ft mixed-income, mixed-use development on the former Seward Park Urban Renewal Area — one of the most transformative public-private developments in New York City history. Built in partnership with NYC HPD across nine parcels, Essex Crossing brought 50 years of vacancy back to life on the Lower East Side.
Over 1,000 units of housing — 50% affordable — alongside retail, community facilities, and public open space. Essex Crossing is a model for what public-private development can achieve when a city and a developer are truly aligned on the outcome.
