“We are continuing to work toward a resolution of the lawsuit initiated under the previous administration concerning the Elizabeth Street Garden site,” he added. While extensive coverage cited unnamed sources indicating they believe a deal will be reached, attorneys for the Elizabeth Street Garden said they are still waiting for the final word that the garden has been saved. The Elizabeth Street Garden, Councilmember Christopher Marte (D-Lower East Side) and the Adams Administration, all identified alternative development sites including 22 Suffolk. “That was supposed to be one for one replacement for units in Elizabeth Street Garden with 123 units of permanently affordable senior housing.” Kostelanetz said plans also are under way to build hundreds of units of affordable housing at 100 Gold Street, the third site as part of Adams’ plan to build while saving the garden.
