New York City issued an eviction notice for the Elizabeth Street Garden to proceed with Pennrose Development’s Haven Green, a 123-unit affordable housing project in Lower Manhattan. The development will include 37 units for formerly homeless seniors and 16,000 square feet of public garden space. Despite legal battles and community opposition prioritizing the garden’s preservation, the state’s top court ruled in favor of the city, allowing the project to move forward. Backed by the Adams administration, Haven Green is part of efforts to tackle New York’s housing crisis, with completion expected by 2026.
