Construction has reached a milestone in the first phase of the Willets Point Transformation project in Willets Point, Queens, where the superstructures of Buildings 1 and 2 have been completed ahead of schedule. These two buildings will deliver 880 of the total 2,500 affordable housing units planned for the site, marking a step forward in what is set to be New York City’s largest 100-percent affordable housing development in over four decades. The initiative is being developed by Queens Development Group, a joint venture of Related Companies and Sterling Equities, in partnership with the NYC Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and the NYC Housing Development Corporation (HDC).
Once complete, the full Willets Point plan will feature 150,000 square feet of new public open space, over 20,000 square feet of retail, a new public school, a 250-room hotel, and the city’s first soccer-specific stadium, which will serve as the home of the New York Football Club (NYCFC) of Major League Soccer. Phase 1 includes three residential buildings with a total of 1,100 units, including 220 units of senior housing. Phase 2 will deliver the remaining 1,400 units, as well as the hotel, stadium, and additional infrastructure upgrades. The stadium, expected to open by the 2027 season, will be fully electric and privately financed, with parking accommodations made through an agreement with the New York Mets.
