Southbridge Towers is a big housing cooperative development located in the Civic Center neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. The complex was built between 1961 and 1971 by Tishman Realty & Construction as a subsidized co-op under the Mitchell-Lama housing program. It is situated south of the entrance ramp to the Brooklyn Bridge between Pearl, Gold, Fulton and Frankfort streets. Southbridge consists of four 27-story towers and five 6-story buildings, which collectively include 1,651 apartments with a total of 331,577 square feet (30,804.5 m2) of floor area.[1]
In October 2005, the cooperative's board of directors voted to undertake a study that could cost up to $25,000 to explore privatization of the building complex.[2]
In September 2014, the residents of Southbridge Towers voted to privatize under the Mitchell-Lama law and reconstitute as a private co-op.[3] The privatization was completed on September 10, 2015.
