Q&A

Chair Riley adds to Marte's question on 100 Gold and comprehensive planning

New York City Council · Oct 21, 2026 · starts 0:52:07 · 1 min 11 sec

He says 4,000 units at 100 Gold is a spot zone, and the focus should be on comprehensive planning and investment in the total community.

Kevin C. Riley

Thank you, Councilmember.

Kevin C. Riley

Going to go into Councilmember Carr, followed by Thomas Henry and Savina Brooks-Prowell.

Kevin C. Riley

Just one second, Councilmember Carr.

Kevin C. Riley

Just to add on to Chair Marte's question, I think what he's alluding to is how much is projected for 100 Gold Street?

Kevin C. Riley

$4,000?

Kevin C. Riley

$4,000.

Kevin C. Riley

Now, before 2021, I think besides Gowanus, we haven't achieved 4,000 units in a neighborhood plan.

Kevin C. Riley

And I think that's just, he's alluding to that's a spot zone and then wants to talk about a more comprehensive plan in the area.

Kevin C. Riley

And I think that kind of alludes to what we're trying to get at today is that the focus should not just be on the unit count within the area, but a more comprehensive plan in the area.

Kevin C. Riley

Because putting 4,000 people there and not making it.

Kevin C. Riley

making sure that you're investing in the total community and listening to all stakeholders in the community is doing a tremendous disservice to New Yorkers.

Kevin C. Riley

So just wanted to pinpoint that, Chair, to you.

Kevin C. Riley

Next, we're going to hear from Minority Leader Carr, followed by Thomas Henry and Savina Brooks-Powers, then Banks.

And we've been joined by Councilmember Lee.
