Support Freedom Plaza: An Inclusive and Vibrant Vision for the Future of Manhattan’s East Side and NYC

Freedom Plaza will bring urgently needed new & affordable housing, expansive publicly accessible open space, far-reaching economic development, and significant community investment in the public good that will have positive local and citywide impacts.

I am writing to express my support for Freedom Plaza. This plan, proposed by community focused partners Soloviev Group and Mohegan, stands out for its strong commitment to sustainable development, and significant contributions to our local area.

The Soloviev Group and Mohegan, both family-owned and community-focused, are proposing a project that will bring new affordable housing, additional public green spaces and new benefits to this neighborhood and New York City as a whole. Both partners are family-owned, with local and regional roots, and have a proven record of caring for local communities. Indeed, four generations of the Soloviev family reside in the neighborhood, underscoring their deep local ties.

Freedom Plaza will bring urgently needed new & affordable housing, expansive publicly accessible open space, far-reaching economic development, and significant community investment in the public good that will have positive local and citywide impacts.

Key Benefits of Freedom Plaza:

1. Needed New & Affordable Housing: Our city is in the midst of a housing crisis. The project will create needed market rate and affordable housing, with over 1,000 new units, including 500+ affordable apartments.
2. Public Green Open Space: A highlight of Freedom Plaza will be approximately 5 acres of public open space with views of the East River, a children’s play area, dog run, open-air amphitheater, and multiple recreational, social and cultural environments for all ages.
3. Community Benefits: Soloviev Group and Mohegan have pledged millions of dollars in annual support for local and citywide nonprofits, as well as inclusion of a daycare facility, neighborhood food market, and community-oriented dining and retail.
4. Economic Development and Job Growth: Freedom Plaza represents more $11.1 billion in total investment, generating $3.2 billion in annual economic output, and the creation of 17,000 high-quality full- and part-time union jobs.

With its promise of impactful investment and a design that reflects the life of its community, Freedom Plaza is the model of a forward-looking vision & inclusive economic growth for New York City. I urge you to support this plan which will provide lasting benefits to our community.
