New York City Mayor Eric Adams unveiled plans to transform 66,000 square feet in the Meatpacking District into Gansevoort Square, a 24/7 community and cultural hub.
Located on Little West 12th Street, the site—formerly home to the Gansevoort Meat Market—will feature mixed-income housing, public spaces and opportunities to expand the Whitney Museum of American Art and the High Line. In August, the last remaining meat market in the district agreed to leave early so the city could redevelop the property.
“The Meatpacking District is an iconic neighborhood, steeped with the city’s social, economic, and cultural history,” said New York City Executive Director for Housing Leila Bozorg. “Reimagining Gansevoort Square provides an exciting opportunity to build on that history, while introducing critical new housing, public open space, and expansion opportunities for important cultural institutions.”
