NYC's First Pre-Fab Modular Micro Apartments

Designed for a single person or cozy couple, New York City’s first “micro-unit” building will have apartments as small as 250 square feet (23 square meters).

A city-owned property at 335 E. 27th St. will be converted into a multifamily building with 55 apartments ranging in size from 250 to 370 square feet with 40% of the units renting at below-market rates.

These units may make sense in light of the increasing number of one- and two-person households as compared to the number of households with three or more people. 

Will the rent be even less for those with claustrophobia?
