Community Board 1 Approves Massive Development on Halletts Point Peninsula
Quote:
A developer’s plan to build 1,340 apartments on the Halletts Point peninsula got the approval of Community Board 1 Tuesday night.
The board voted 19-14 in favor of the rezoning application that involves the construction of three residential towers – one 22 stories, another 31 stories and a third 35 stories—on a 3.8-acre industrial site on the peninsula.
The developer, listed as Astoria Owners Inc., requires several zoning changes to move forward with the plan, such as changing its permitted zoning from manufacturing (M1-1) to mixed-use residential (R7-3/C2-4).
The site is located at 3-15 26th Ave. just a block away from the Durst Organization’s massive Halletts Point project and by the Astoria Cove development. The project, which is aptly called Halletts North, is also near the Astoria Houses NYCHA complex.
The development, which is being designed by Studio V Architecture and Ken Smith Workshop, would include 335 affordable apartments—in line with what is required—if the rezoning application is approved. The 335 units would be offered at an average Area Median Income of 60 percent, equating to about $72,000 for a family of four.
With rezonings, the city requires developers to provide affordable housing in accordance with the city’s Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program.
The project would also include 3,600 square feet of retail space, 9,700-square-feet for community facilities, and a 525-space parking garage. There would also be about 700 bicycle parking spaces.
The development would include space for Urban Upbound, a Long Island City-based organization that helps NYCHA residents get out of poverty, as well as Zone 126, a nonprofit that works with children and families in Long Island City and Astoria.
The project would also transform about 40,000 square feet of the site into a public waterfront promenade, which would be accessible through a new road at 3rd Street.
The Durst Organization, which is developing 2,000 units on the peninsula, completed its first of seven proposed buildings in 2019 and is currently working on its second.
The company filed plans earlier this week to demolish a warehouse on First Street and 27th Avenue. The site will be used as a staging area for the project’s third and fourth buildings, with Durst starting construction on those buildings later this spring, reported Patch.
Building plans were also filed earlier this month pertaining to the Astoria Cove development. That development will bring 1,723 apartments to the peninsula upon completion.
