Averne East Building D Affordable Housing Project

planned

Plans are underway for a residential building named Averne East Building D in the Rockaways, Queens, NYC. The $278 million project will be built on vacant land affected by Superstorm Sandy and will contain 230 affordable rental units and 90 affordable co-op units. The building will feature multiple indoor and outdoor amenities, including outdoor terraces, a lounge, a playroom, and a gym. It is the first phase of a 166-acre complex with a total of 1,650 apartments and townhomes, 80% of which will be affordable housing. The building will be environmentally friendly with solar panels and geothermal heating and cooling, and resilient to flooding with residential facilities above the first floor. The project is expected to be completed in 2028.
