    Affordable housing project along West 52nd Street will include 96 apartments. On April 6, 2011, the City Council approved the Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s proposal to allow the Clinton Housing Association and Monadnock Construction to build a 96-unit affordable housing project at 533 West 52nd Street between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues in Manhattan. The eleven-story project, known as Clinton Commons, will provide a mix of studio and one- and two-bedroom apartments available for purchase by families earning between 80 and 165 percent of the area median income.

    The project site is occupied by a one-story welding supply store, an industrial supply storage lot, and vacant one- and two-story buildings. A City-owned ten-story loft building at 549 West 52nd Street is adjacent to the site and houses artist studios, including the Women’s Interart Center and the Ensemble StudioTheatre. HPD requested that the site be designated as an Urban Development Action Area and asked the City to rezone the street’s mid-block portion, including the adjacent loft building, from M1-5 to R8A.
