LPC approves revised plan for 420-foot tower over historic Duffield Street Houses

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) has authorized revised plans for a skyscraper development at 182-188 Duffield St. Designed by Hill West Architects and Acheson Doyle Partners Architects, the project will integrate four landmarked houses into the base of a new 420-foot-tall tower.

The approval comes after the LPC stalled a previous proposal in October 2025. The updated design reduces the tower's height by 30 feet and includes enhanced connections to the historic structures and improved courtyard space. The four houses, which are associated with the Underground Railroad, were previously relocated to the site during the development of MetroTech.
