Mapping 40 Major Changes Reshaping the Mid-Market Corridor

View as Map

Mid-Market is changing with each passing month, and there's no better way to keep track of the constant stream of new development than with an obsessively updated map. Since the last time we brought you our Mid-Market project rundown, some serious progress has been made on projects throughout the corridor. The map now features 40 points, up from 36, with new additions like the forthcoming, highly necessary renovation of UN Plaza, as well as a workspace-slash-brewpub-slash-restaurant and dance club (jury's still out on that one) called The Village. Though it may not be super-apparent these days, Mid-Market may very well become one of the city's most dynamic corridors in a few years' time. Until then, we'll just have to stare at the many pretty renderings of what's to come, regrouped right here on today's Mid-Market development map. Know of any upcoming projects that aren't featured, but are worthy of a spot? Comment below or drop us a line.
