Should your neighborhood allow more mixed-use housing development near transit?
A new rendering was unveiled for a proposed 156-unit mixed-use building at 35-20 College Point Blvd. in Flushing, following City Planning Commission approval of a rezoning from manufacturing to mixed-use on Oct. 26.
Why it matters
The project is one of the developments facilitated by the 2020 Special Flushing Waterfront District zoning initiative, which aims to open Flushing Creek to the public through residential construction. It would replace a low-rise commercial building and storage yard on the site.
The 14-story building would include 6,200 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, 2,000 square feet of community facility space and a 58-space parking garage. Of its 156 apartments, 47 would be income-restricted while 109 would be rented at market rate.

The project would add 47 income-restricted apartments for households earning 60% to 100% of area median income, along with new community space and retail. Residents near Flushing Creek could see new pathways and a waterfront esplanade if the project proceeds.

Projects like this show how rezonings tied to waterfront access can bring affordable housing and public space to neighborhoods like Flushing. Residents interested in future development can track city planning decisions as they move forward.
