NEW YORK: The five hundred and seventy-fourth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards for 2015 has been received.
The city Department of Housing Preservation and Development said a plan to build affordable housing units in Municipal Parking Lot 3 in Flushing is currently in the early planning and predevelopment stages.
The 43,200-square-foot development, located at 133-145 41st Ave., will consist of 208 units of affordable housing. The site is bordered by College Point Boulevard, Main Street and the Long Island Rail Road.
In April, HPD Commissioner Vicki Been announced the selection of a development team for the project. The team, which calls its plan One Flushing, consists of Asian Americans for Equality, HANAC Inc. and Monadnock Development.
The team is partnering with the New Hyde Park-based Parker Jewish Institute for Healthcare and Rehabilitation, which offers long-term care for seniors. The institute will operate out of the space on the second floor.
