Description
Description | The Long Island City rezoning plan permits up to 14,700 homes across 54 blocks, allowing mid- to high-rise buildings along the Queens waterfront and near Court Square. The plan includes more than 3.8 million square feet of commercial and industrial space and requires over 4,000 affordable apartments under the city's mandatory inclusionary housing rules. The rezoning aims to boost density in an area that has remained mostly low-rise and industrial, and includes $1.5 billion in neighborhood upgrades such as public open space under the Queensboro Bridge and along the East River waterfront. |
