    The revised plans were inspired by the cast-iron elements of the surrounding buildings in the district. On February 19, 2019, the Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the proposed demolition of a three-story commercial building and construction of a new six-story building at 430 West Broadway in the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District. The new building will have retail space at its base and a community facility and offices on the floors above. Morris Adjmi Architects presented the revised plans for the building.

    The residential conversion project includes the restoration of cast-iron building in SoHo Cast-Iron Historic District. On September 7, 2017, the City Council voted 45-0 to approve an application for a special permit to allow residential and retail uses at 40 Wooster Street in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood. The applicant, 40 Wooster Street Restoration LLC which is a subsidiary of the Northwind Group, sought the special permit to allow for residential and retail uses in what was once a primarily manufacturing district but has become over the years a mixed-use district. The SoHo Cast-Iron Historic District, which includes 40 Wooster Street, now contains many cast-iron loft buildings with retail, restaurants, galleries, and boutique clothing stores on the ground floor and with office and residential space on the upper floors.

    Landmarks previously approved demolition of one-story garage and new seven-story building in 2011. On March 3, 2015, the Landmarks Preservation Commission considered a proposal for the demolition of an existing one-story garage, and the construction of a new six-story-plus-penthouse building, at 150 Wooster Street in the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District. The two-lot site is currently occupied by a vacant lot and a garage, which was heavily altered from an earlier structure at some point in the 20th century after the building. Landmarks approved a project at the site in 2011, which would have been similar in scale, though one story taller, and also entailed the demolition of the garage. The project was never realized and the building now has different owners, and a different design team has been retained, for an entirely new application.

    Developers seek permission for three floors of retail over community objections.  On September 16, 2014, the New York City Council Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises held a public hearing on a proposed six-story commercial building at 19 East Houston Street in the SoHo Cast Iron Historic District of Manhattan, between Broadway and Crosby Street.  The lot was incorporated into the Historic District after the Landmarks Preservation Commission expanded the district in 2010.
