Current Projects
Numerous private-sector real estate projects are underway throughout the city. This page provides a summary of the various major projects recently announced, in design/construction, or just completed in 2022-23. Note that many plans were delayed by Covid-19, pushing projects back by a year or two. While there are numerous renovation projects underway or planned, we generally list only new construction and mostly only major projects. A few smaller projects are listed as they will have transformative physical or significant economic impacts, or the potential for such. Additionally, we do include some renovation projects, such as office-to-residential or office-to-hotel conversions, as the change of building use can have meaningful economic impacts.
Moreover, given the large number of residential projects, only market-rate projects and those of 20 or more units are included. Otherwise, this list would be unmanageable with hundreds of projects. If you think we missed something significant, or if a listed project needs an update, please let us know. Projects are organized by neighborhood. Scroll through or use the links below to jump.
Last Update: March 1, 2024
Or jump to a Summary by Neighborhood and Project Type at the end of this page.
Note: At times some geographies may contain parts of others. For example, the southern boundary of Hough is Euclid Avenue, which between E. 55 and E. 105 Streets overlaps with Midtown which we define as the area east of Downtown to E. 105 St. and along the avenues of Chester, Euclid, Prospect, Carnegie, and Cedar. Projects in areas that can be considered Midtown and another neighborhood will be categorized as Midtown as that is part of the economic core of the city.

Editorial Note: Projects listed on this page are generally larger projects, and for residential investments, we have used 20 or more market-rate units as the minimum for inclusion. We would otherwise have a large and unwieldily list. However, we are including this project of only 14 units because of its importance. For-sale housing is a critical need Downtown as there are very few options for home-buyers, at only 5% of all Downtown housing options. Hence the lack of for sale opportunities push buyers to other neighborhoods rather than contributing to neighborhood economic stability Downtown that home ownership cultivates.
