New York City is moving forward with plans to turn part of a parking lot in Hudson Square into a new public plaza. The city’s Parks Department, DEP, and the Hudson Square Business Improvement District this week unveiled the design for Hudson-Houston Plaza, a new 0.26-acre open space at the intersection of Hudson and Houston Streets that will provide a much-needed public area for the neighborhood while allowing for continued DEP operations below ground. The northern half of the city-owned site will become an affordable housing development, known as 388 Hudson Street.

Designed by Matthews Nielsen Landscape Architects (MNLA), the public space draws inspiration from Eduardo Kobra’s “Ellis” mural, seen on the adjacent City-As-School building.
A new affordable housing development with community amenities is planned for the northern section of the site at 388 Hudson Street. As part of Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to build affordable housing projects on public land, the project is currently in the community visioning phase of the request for proposals process.
