The Seward Park Extension is a NYCHA housing project with two buildings on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Both buildings have 23 stories; Building I is located on a block between Broome and Grand Streets and also between Essex and Norfolk Streets and Building II is located on a block between the Williamsburg Bridge in Delancey Street and Broome Street. ^[2] This housing project was completed in October 1973. ^[1] The opening was delayed for two years by a legal dispute over the selection of tenants. ^[3]
