New York City’s first “micro-unit” building will have apartments as small as 250 square feet (23 square meters) and pantries that pull out from the wall, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced today.
The “My Micro NY” building, a conversion of a city-owned property at 335 E. 27th St., will be the first multifamily building in Manhattan to be built entirely from prefabricated modular pieces, the mayor said in a statement. Monadnock Development LLC, Actors Fund Housing Development Corp. and nArchitects, the project’s developers, won the adAPT NYC competition, which sought proposals for space-optimizing units.
