Manhattan Detention Site
The Manhattan borough-based jail will be located at the site of the current Manhattan Detention Complex at 124-125 White Street. The new, state of the art facility will have dedicated space for on-site services and programming, indoor and outdoor recreation, food services, staff offices and facilities, amenities, below grade accessory parking, and a secured entry (sally port).
The new facility will contain 1040 beds for men. In addition, the facility will provide 20,000 sq. ft. of community and commercial space on the ground floor.
The Department of Design and Construction (DDC) is awarding two separate Design-Build contracts — one for the new facility and one for the dismantle and sally port project required to prepare the site and facilitate NYC Department of Correction’s transfers for court appearances during construction.
