NEW YORK- Some Lower East Side residents are protesting plans to add four skyscrapers to their neighborhood. 

The high-rise towers on the Two Bridges waterfront between the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges would be filled with mostly market rate rentals.

Only about 25 percent of the 3,000 planned apartments would be set aside for low and middle income housing. 

Protesters say that is not enough. 

"Instead of making buildings that are going to be 100 percent affordable which is what we need in this area, they want to bring in luxury towers to house the rich on the Lower East Side , it's unheard of," said one Lower East Side resident.

"It would destroy the character, it would destroy the unity that we have and I think that's unfair," said another resident.

City officials are set to review the project's the environmental impact later this week.

Residents say they plan to protest that meeting.
