How NYC's Zoning Reform is Subtly Changing The City's Landscape
New York City's landmark zoning reform is already having an impact. In Manhattan's Sutton Place neighborhood, plans to convert the Archdiocese of New York building into apartments got a boost: After the passage of the "City of Yes" plan in December, the project can create 75 more apartments.
