Greater East Midtown

    The zoning proposal enables the development of new, sustainable, state-of-the-art office buildings, solidifying East Midtown as a premier business district. Buildings would be able to achieve higher densities provided that the developments support enhancements to the area’s transit network and pedestrian realm, and support the preservation of some of Midtown’s most iconic landmarks.
