Jamaica Neighborhood Plan Rezoning: This site was part of the recent Jamaica Neighborhood Plan rezoning, upzoning the parcel to R7A with a 5.0 FAR — unlocking 25,000 buildable SF.
Density: With 25,000 buildable SF on a standard 50′ x 100′ lot, the rezoning delivers an exceptional yield for a mid-rise residential development in one of Queens’ most active development corridors.
MIH Flexibility: The site qualifies for MIH Options 1, 2, and 3, offering a developer maximum flexibility in structuring their affordable housing obligation.
Infrastructure Investment: The property’s location in Jamaica positions it to benefit from significant public and private infrastructure investment as a result of the recent rezoning.
Commercial Corridor Proximity: The site is two blocks from the intersection of Merrick Boulevard and Liberty Avenue, one of Southeast Queens’ most active commercial corridors, providing future residents will have immediate walkable access to retail, dining, services, and community amenities — a key driver of residential.
