South by Westbeth is a mixed-use project which will provide 57,400 square feet of new commercial and community facility space in addition to 37 new affordable residential units. These new units will be fully integrated into the existing residential building along Washington Street. The development’s programmatic spaces seek to reactivate the Bank Street Plaza and recenter the artist at the heart of the site. South by Westbeth will be both modern and contextual in design in order to preserve and honor the significant historic character of Westbeth while creating new opportunities to further the mission of valuing artists and their sustained history in the West Village. The project aspires to create a new era that will span new generations of artists like the existing community already has.
