The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) has appointed RYBAK Development to lead the next phase of housing development at Coney Island West. The project, named Tilyou Towers in honour of Steeplechase Park founder George C. Tilyou, will transform “Parcel A,” an 80,000-square-foot city-owned lot, into more than 500 mixed-income residences, including 25 percent affordable units, alongside retail space and modernised public parking facilities.
