Reminder of master plan in post #15.

This is a biggie!

That master plan though, clearly made before the great boom in LIC. A lot has changed!

^^^ I recall from another proposal drawing a pedestrian bridge from Hunters point over Newtown Creek to Greenpoint as well, which does not show up on the master plan.

Construction on the new southern end of the park is going like gangbusters.

Hunters Point South development moves forward after years of delays


The updated plans, right, calls for taller towers than the original plans, as well as open space between the buildings

Quote:
TF Cornerstone on Thursday filed the first permits to build a nearly 1,200-unit apartment building on a prime piece of city-owned waterfront property in Queens, a proceeding made remarkable by the fact that the developer won the right to build back in late 2013.

Considering its scale, the Long Island City development typically would have taken between two to three years to complete. But the project has been held up by wrangling between the developer and state and federal agencies, as well as the city, nearly tripling the construction timeline and forcing a major redesign of the building.

Early on, the developer came up against Amtrak, which owns a rail tunnel running beneath the center of the site and thus needed to sign off on the project’s plans. To avoid interfering with the train line, TF Cornerstone and ODA Architecture divvied up most of the units between a pair of buildings occupying separate sides of the property. Ten floors of apartments would be built at ground level between the towers, but these would be placed on a concrete slab supported by the buildings in order to keep weight off the tunnel. However, as TF Cornerstone pushed forward with these plans, an even bigger problem emerged.

“We knew there was an easement for a power line under the site, but what we didn’t fully understand was that the New York Power Authority would not allow any construction over it at all," said Jon McMillan, director of planning for TF Cornerstone.

Bloomberg-era planners had thought a compromise could be reached with the authority that would allow for a building on the site while still giving maintenance crews access to the power line. After a lengthy back and forth, it became clear that the developer would have to rethink the project and leave the center of the property open.

The redesigned structure keeps the same overall unit count, with the apartments in the center redistributed to taller towers on each side. The de Blasio administration also negotiated for lower income brackets to have access to the roughly 800 units enrolled in the city’s affordable housing program. Along with a local councilman, officials also arranged for a new elementary school to be included in the project. The agreement being finalized with Amtrak will also allow TF Cornerstone to build a one-story retail structure in the space between the towers.

Long Island City's Hunters Point South phase 2 is back on track

Quote:
This $500 million, two-towered development will hold 1,120 apartments total, of which 900 will be designated permanently affordable. Those will be available to residents with incomes ranging from 30 to 145 percent of the area medium income; 93 units will be reserved for seniors among varying income levels. There will also be as much as 40,000 square feet of retail and community facility space. According to the WSJ, there may be a medical facility, grocery store, or space dedicated to arts and culture.

The towers are adjacent to the riverfront park that wraps around the Hunters Point South development sites. Another one of those parcels will be developed by TF Cornerstone, which is planning a 1,197-unit building with a 600-seat elementary school.

These are separate projects. We should probably have separate threads.

There's a TF Cornerstone project, which is the twin-towered project in post #24, and has been planned for years (but was delayed due to issues with rail tunnels underneath). It's since been redesigned with much taller towers.

Post #26 details a separate twin-towered project by Gotham Companies, which has a site just to the south of the TF Cornerstone site.

Both projects are new construction, mixed income, twin towered projects with schools, so it can be confusing. But they're separate, adjacent sites, within the larger Hunters Point South redevelopment zone.

Jogged up to the fencing blocking the new extension of the park this AM. Sidewalks and benches are in so hopefully it will open sometime this Spring/Summer.

This park is my go-to place for visiting family & friends who want great skyline views. I still miss the old Water Taxi Beach and its views of Manhattanhenge.

I know the difficulty in mustering a complaint is a testament to how prolific the residential boom is along the East River waterfront, but I really wish these towers would shake their reserved styling, especially these Hunters Point developments. How sweet would one of SHoP's Domino towers look here?

these are nice considering they will be largely affordable. Handel is also responsible for the contextual brick buildings at Greenpoint Landing.
