Overview of Land Lease Proposal
$13.4 Billion Unmet Capital Need NYCHA Wide for the Next 5 Years
Washington Houses needs $52.2 million
for capital improvements
Budgeted to receive $2,894,000 in next 5 years
7
Overview: Land Lease Proposed Plan
NYCHA would lease (not sell) 14 parcels of land located within 8 developments
Income generated will be dedicated to building improvements for public housing
The developers will finance, construct, and operate new residential buildings.
Approximately 80% of the apartments will be market rate and 20% will be permanently low income 8
Setting the Record Straight: At Washington the Development Plan
Will: Not increase rent for NYCHA residents
due to the new developments.
Not demolish public housing apartments
Not move NYCHA families
Not privatize – NYCHA will still be the landlord
Not sell the land; NYCHA will own the land under the new buildings.
Not result in job losses or increased work requirements for NYCHA personnel. 9
NYCHA’s Core Principles for Development
All new buildings located along street fronts to encourage pedestrian traffic and campus integration with the neighborhood and reduce construction impact
Replacement of all parking spaces for all current resident legal permit holders
NYCHA will remain your landlord and retain ownership of the land under the new buildings via 99-year ground leases
10
Benefits NYCHA Wide
This initiative will generate between $30 million and $50 million of funding on a yearly basis for 99 years (term of ground lease)
All revenue will be used to improve the quality of life of NYCHA residents by funding a portion of critical capital improvements – example: roofs, elevators, boilers, electrical system, apartment upgrades
