Manhattan’s cheapest pads are tiny (250–364 sq ft) and selling for about $130k–$320k, including a 254-sq-ft NoMad unit for $320k and two HDFC-affordable units under $160k.

Despite the negative reactions, the expansion does not require certain approvals and will be considered by the Civic Design Review committee next month.
