History

Andrew Rasiej founded Civic Hall, proposing the project to the city in 2018. Rasiej lead a unanimous Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) approval process to up-zone the former location of a P.C. Richard & Son store on East 14th Street.[6] The ULURP received unanimous approval in 2018 and the P.C. Richard & Son building was demolished.[7] In 2023, the 21-story tech hub was completed.[2][8]

The Zero Irving project was developed by RAL Development with Davis Brody Bond designing the building.[9]

In late September 2023, Mayor Eric Adams announced the opening of the Civic Hall space, calling it a "laboratory for the entire country."[2][10]
