The Related Companies’ West Side Rail Yards complex is going to need more affordable housing units if its $15 billion plan is to gain City Council approval, Speaker Christine Quinn said at a hearing on zoning changes for the site yesterday. Related has proposed 5,000 housing units, in addition to office towers, hotels, shops and parks on the 13-acre, Metropolitan Transportation Authority-owned land that lies between 10th and 12th avenues and 30th and 33rd streets. The company has said 8 percent of the housing units it builds there would be affordable. [Post]
