Willets Point Commons, the first phase of an affordable housing development being built next to Citi Field, has officially opened to new residents, with move-ins slated to begin this month.
The affordable housing complex, built as part of the development of New York City FC’s new soccer-specific stadium in Willets Point, features 880 units, ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments.
The complex is a public-private project between the city and Queens Development Group, a joint venture between Related Companies and Sterling Equities, and will eventually include 2,500 permanently affordable housing units, a new public school, over 150,000 square feet of open space and a new hotel. NYCFC is also building Etihad Park, a 25,000-seater soccer stadium, adjacent to the housing development as part of the development.
Willets Point Commons will be managed by Related Management Company and features a wide range of amenities for new residents, including two landscaped inner courtyards, a tenant lounge space, outdoor terrace and BBQs, a community garden, a fitness center and a children’s playroom. The development also features co-working spaces, bike storage, electric vehicle charging and ground-floor retail shops.
