PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (“HIT”) is helping to finance a mixed-income rental property located at 273 W. 22nd Street (“Project”) in Manhattan’s vibrant Chelsea neighborhood. The property is being developed by TF Cornerstone and will provide 278 units of housing, of which 25% will be set aside as affordable.
The Project is a single, through-block building with two towers joined by a central corridor and linked by a landscaped outdoor courtyard. Residents will have access to several top tier amenities including a golf simulator, a children’s playroom, a first-floor club room with dining and lounger areas, a private co-working lounge, a fully equipped fitness center with an adjacent yoga studio, as well as two rooftop decks with barbecue grills and outdoor kitchen areas.
HIT ROLE
HIT purchased a $12.5 million participation interest as part of a syndicate of institutional lenders that are providing an aggregate $181 million construction loan for the development. The Project is HIT’s 81st project in New York City.
SOCIAL IMPACT
In addition to the economic impacts below, 25% of the units will be set aside for households earning up to an average of 60% of area median income. Under 485-x, all affordable units will be permanently affordable.
The site is steps from the 1, C, and E subway stations as well as the 23rd Street PATH, providing connections to major demand drivers across Midtown, Hudson Yards, the West Village, and Downtown.
*Job and economic impact figures are estimates calculated using IMPLAN, an input-output model, based on HIT project data. The data is current as of April 30, 2026. Economic impact data is in 2025 dollars and all other figures are nominal.
