Is the Vanderbilt Corridor the Future of East Midtown?
January 20, 2015 |
East Midtown is New York’s premiere business district, supporting over 250,000 jobs. This 73-block neighborhood not only powers the regional economy, it contributes billions annually to the nation’s economic vitality. To ensure East Midtown maintains its global dominance as a business center, the Department of City Planning is proposing a bold new suite of zoning changes. Join a panel of expert insiders who will discuss the proposed vision for both the Vanderbilt Corridor and the One Vanderbilt building. They will explore what kind of future is currently being planned for East Midtown and how the Vanderbilt Corridor project might reinvigorate this aging commercial district.
