For over 20 years, the Garment District Alliance has been committed to improving the quality of life in the Garment District.  Through a variety of programs in the areas of sanitation and public safety, beautification, horticulture, capital improvement projects, economic development, community outreach, marketing and promotions, as well as small business and fashion industry support, we ensure that the Garment District is the most vibrant and unique neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan. 

PUBLIC SERVICES

In our commitment to keeping the Garment District clean and safe, we employ a full-time, uniformed sanitation and public safety staff seven days a week. In addition to street sweeping, the Alliance also provides specialized services, such as graffiti removal, street furniture painting and sidewalk steam-cleaning. A dedicated staff of uniformed public safety officers keeps the district safe and works closely with the NYPD to target areas of concern. Learn more about our Public Services (sanitation and security) programs.

BEAUTIFICATION

From the seasonal plantings and street furniture that line the pedestrian esplanade of the Garment District Plazas, to the decorative lampposts, to the Fashion Walk of Fame and our famous giant button and needle sculpture on Fashion Avenue, we are working hard to create attractive and hospitable public spaces. Find out more about the beautification and placemaking efforts underway in the Garment District.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY DATA

We love data and we are eager to share it!  Every year, we conduct a detailed survey of all 6000+ companies doing business in the district so that we know exactly who's here, how to promote the area and which types of new businesses to attract. We publish dozens of reports, which include a variety of economic indicators, such as employment numbers, pedestrian counts, vacancy surveys, average asking rents, hotel occupancy rates, retail potential, household income and more. You can also find maps showing the current midtown zoning. Learn more about our data sets and the work we do to stimulate economic development here in the Garment District.

TOURISM & PROMOTIONS

The Garment District is located smack dab in the heart of midtown Manhattan, between Times Square and Macy's Herald Square. With the best access to public transit of anywhere in the country, and dozens of new hotels, we cater to tourists and visitors through information (welcome center) services, and fun and free programs and events. Discover the Garment District through our exciting events and programs.
