RFP Seeks Mixed-Income Housing for Parcel E at Hunter’s Point South

The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) said Friday it has issued a Request for Proposals to develop the vacant Parcel E in the Hunter’s Point South neighborhood in Queens. The RFP calls for a multi-building, mixed-use development with affordable and market-rate housing, commercial space, community facility space, and a publicly accessible open space.  

To date, Hunter’s Point South redevelopment has already yielded 3,000 new homes, community amenities, two schools and an 11-acre waterfront park. In view of an ongoing affordability crisis, HPD is requiring that this forthcoming project provide deeper levels of affordability and more affordable homes compared to previous phases, including at least one 100% affordable building. 

“This administration understands that the key to solving the housing crisis is to build more mixed-income housing,” said Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development, and Workforce Adolfo Carrión Jr. “The Hunter’s Point South RFP will transform a city-owned lot into an asset for Long Island City, delivering hundreds of affordable and market-rate homes, along with important amenities that will support the neighborhood. We look forward to receiving innovative proposals that will deliver for Long Island City.”
