The Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan (MSMX) seeks to foster vibrant, 24/7 mixed-use neighborhoods across 42 blocks of Midtown South. MSMX focuses on these centrally located areas where new housing is not permitted under today’s half century-old zoning rules. The Plan aims to expand housing opportunities, including affordable housing, support economic activity, and enliven the area’s public realm.
