A billion-dollar housing project near Hallets Cove, north of Socrates Sculpture Park in Astoria, is finalizing its design with the Department of City Planning, according to Andrew Moesel, a spokesman for Lincoln Equities Group, the developers behind the project. The development, called “Hallets Point,” would provide 2,300 units of housing, 400 of them at affordable rates, Moesel said.
Asked whether these affordable units would be for low-, middle- or moderate-income families, Moesel said that had yet to be determined, but did note that the affordable housing would be geared towards senior citizens.
The design is set to include seven residential towers, each between 16 and 30 stories tall, and a waterfront park that would be open to the public. A little over six acres of the site are on the waterfront, with views of Manhattan and Roosevelt Island. Once designs are finalized, public hearings as part of the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure will take place sometime in the fall.
