The ICNYC is a $22 million project to develop 350 6th Avenue into an inclusive, state of the art epicenter for Muslim life in Manhattan, centered on the pillars of knowledge (علم), fellowship (صحبة), and service (خدمة).
Our Space
Located at the prime intersection of 6th Avenue and Washington Place, 350 6th Avenue is a two story commercial unit offering over 16,000 square feet of usable space. The versatile, open structure will cater to the diverse needs of our community.
This project is a $22 million endeavor. With your support, we successfully raised the down payment of $7 million, obtained a loan for $10 million, executed a purchase agreement in November 2024, and closed on the property earlier this year, alhumdulillah. We plan to begin renovation this year, inshallah.
Our goal for this year is to raise $5 million to cover the cost renovation, construction and carrying cost of the property (insurance, utilities, mortgage, etc.). Inshallah with everyone pitching in, we’ll be able to get it done.
Together, with your support, we can build our own space to serve as an independent, epicenter for Muslim spiritual, intellectual, professional, and social life in Manhattan.
Our Vision
We envision a state of the art, purpose built space that includes:
A large prayer hall to accommodate our growing needs for jummah, Ramadan, Muharram, and other religious services;
A co-working area with a cafe, for productivity and collaboration;
Event facilities enabling daily, weekly and monthly community programming as well as rental availability for community organizations;
A gender-separated wellness center for exercise classes, counseling, group therapy, cupping, massage, and other personal health services;
Classrooms for weekend programming for children;
Offices for administrative staff and community-based organizations to encourage cooperation in providing robust, cohesive services for the Muslim community.
We plan to develop diverse programming and operations, including:
Added programming to focus on youth development, especially for tweens and teens, as well as the elderly;
Expansion of convert care and support;
Programming focused on adults at various life stages i.e. 30 and older, 40 and older, etc.;
