The Hudson Companies and Housing Works recently celebrated groundbreaking for The Lirio, a mixed-use development located at 364 West 54th Street in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan. The project will transform a vacant parking lot into 112 permanently affordable homes, office space for the MTA, and neighborhood retail space. It was designed by CetraRuddy and is being built in partnership with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation & Development, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and other partners.The Lirio will provide 67 units of supportive housing for formerly homeless individuals, including 59 units targeted for long-term survivors of HIV/AIDS, 44 affordable homes for families earning between 30 and 120 percent of area median income, and one superintendent unit. Beyond that, the property will be home to approximately 30,000 square feet of office space for the MTA and retail space along Ninth Avenue.

The development is targeting Passive House standards and LEED Gold certification and will participate in the NYSERDA Multifamily Performance Program. Its groundbreaking follows the closing of $119 million in financing for the project’s construction in April 2024. Construction is expected to be complete by 2026.

“We’re so thrilled to break ground on The Lirio, which will bring 112 units of affordable housing to Hell’s Kitchen,” said NYC councilmember Erik Bottcher. “Not only will this transformational project address our housing needs for the community, but it will provide neighborhood retail and services for some of the most vulnerable New Yorkers. I want to thank all of the partners involved and look forward to seeing this project through its completion.”
