The city’s largest residential building project is moving forward on the West Side, thanks to an approval Monday by the city’s Planning Commission.
The green light for development at 606 W. 57th St. was tied to the developer’s commitment to maximize affordable housing at the site and reveals Mayor de Blasio’s housing-policy priorities.
The complex will sit on 1.9 acres. Developer TF Cornerstone agreed to create 237 units of affordable housing out of 1,189 units total.
The project is also slated to include 42,000 square feet of commercial or community-facility space.
The building project, which next goes before the City Council, is still years away from completion.
