Stop the Luxury Megatowers in the Lower East Side
A luxury developer called Extell is trying to build 4 luxury mega-towers in Two Bridges, a neighborhood next to Chinatown and the Lower East Side. If built, these towers will drive up the rent and property taxes and displace people in Chinatown and LES. In 2019, Youth Against Displacement, Lower East Side Organized Neighbors (LESON) and others sued the City for their illegal approval of four luxury towers in Two Bridges and we won the lawsuit to stop the towers. But in 2021, the City and developers filed an appeal that overturned this victory. If these mega-towers are built, they will only worsen the skyrocketing rents and ongoing displacement of working people of color in Chinatown and the Lower East Side. We are filing a second lawsuit to stop these towers for good. We are suing to defend the environmental rights of thousands of people in Two Bridges, protecting our right to clean air, light, and water, and ensuring that the low-income buildings in the area don’t have their structural integrity compromised by these dangerous new developments. Our community is not for sale!
