The ongoing expansion in the Village, NoHo, and East Village of New York University — the largest private university in the United States — remains a huge concern to GVSHP, and to many of our neighbors. NYU, which currently occupies about 100 buildings between 2nd and 6th Avenues in the Village, has built a dozen new high-rises in the area since the early 1980s, and has built or occupied all or part of more than 25 buildings during that time.

GVSHP believes that under current conditions, NYU will only continue to expand, and gradually take over more and more of these neighborhoods. And while we see our institutions of higher learning as an important element in the character of our neighborhoods, we do not believe that NYU should become their overwhelming or defining trait, as current conditions allow.
