North Shore Housing

Current zoning does not allow homes on this site, so the housing floor area is zero until the land is rezoned. The 2,500 homes the City's LIFT tracker lists here depend on a rezoning or other land-use approval.

The 2,500 is the environmental-review program for all three sites under the proposed rezoning; as of August 2026 there was no developer or building plan.

What City documents say

Facts from City documents that bear on the figures below. Each is quoted in the sources, and each speaks as of its document's date.

  • Proposed rezoning from M1-1 to C4-5 in environmental review

    On August 26, 2026 the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice began environmental review (CEQR 26DME018R) of the North Shore Waterfront Plan, which proposes rezoning the area from manufacturing (M1-1) to C4-5, changes to the Special St. George District and Mandatory Inclusionary Housing. A public scoping meeting is set for September 29, 2026; a search of the City's zoning application portal for the plan's name on September 25, 2026 found no application.

  • Empire Outlets and former Wheel terminal would stay

    The site includes the operating Empire Outlets buildings and garage (Site 1) and the former New York Wheel terminal building and garage (Site 2). The August 2026 plan would build around and reuse them, with the three-story terminal adapted for community facility space.

  • State cleanup agreement and deed restriction apply

    Parts of the site are under a New York State Voluntary Cleanup Agreement with a soil cap. The August 2026 notice lists State approval to disturb the cap, change the use and amend the deed restriction among the approvals needed.

  • Existing stadium and rail special permits must change

    The August 2026 notice lists modification of the existing Stadium Use, Stadium Bulk and Railroad Right-of-Way special permits, and of restrictive declarations, among the approvals needed.

  • No developer yet; City would lease the land long term

    As of August 2026 there is no developer or development plan; the City proposes to lease the sites long term to future developers. The 2,500-home figure is a planning assumption for environmental review.

  • Parts of Lots 20 and 601, and Lot 9018, are not counted here

    The August 2026 notice says the project also uses parts of Lots 20 and 601, and Lot 9018, which has no mapped area. It gives no size for those parts, so the figures here cover Lots 15, 18 and 22 only.

Floor area follows exactly from the Zoning Resolution. Homes are a range, because unit size and building efficiency are choices.

What binds first

Needs a rezoning

Current zoning (M1-1) does not allow homes, so no homes can be built here until the land is rezoned or another land-use approval allows them. The floor area figures above show what current zoning allows for other uses.

What gets in the way

Flags are flags, not verdicts. Each comes from a public layer, named in the sources.

  • Hazard

    In the 1% annual chance floodplain (2015 preliminary map)

    About 68% of the site (462,200 sq ft) is in FEMA's 2015 Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 1% annual chance floodplain (zone AE). NYC uses this map for flood-resistant construction rules.

  • Hazard

    In the 1% annual chance floodplain (effective 2007 map)

    About 46% of the site (309,800 sq ft) is in the 1% annual chance floodplain on FEMA's effective 2007 Flood Insurance Rate Map, which flood insurance still uses (MapPLUTO flags it too).

  • Caution

    1 of 3 lots not recorded as City-owned

    MapPLUTO records block 2 lot 15 as fully tax-exempt (owner recorded as “EO STATEN ISLAND PROPERTY OWNER LLC”). The City's August 2026 scoping notice for the North Shore Waterfront Plan describes the project as three City-owned sites, of which Site 1 is Lot 15.

  • Caution

    2 of 3 lots have buildings on them

    Block 2 lot 15 has 7 buildings on record with 492,962 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 2016; Block 2 lot 22 has a building on record with 169,797 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 2016 (MapPLUTO; gross area includes space zoning does not count). Zoning counts floor area already on a lot toward its maximum, so the figures above are the most the land could hold in total, not what could be added while those buildings stand.

  • Note

    In the Special St. George District

    The Special St. George District changes floor area only for C4-2 districts in its Upland Subdistrict (ZR 128-21). This site is M1-1 in the North Waterfront Subdistrict, so homes stay not allowed and the community facility ratio stays 2.40. The ZR 128-61 special permit is discretionary and does not allow homes.

  • Note

    Most community facilities here need a special permit

    In M1-1, only houses of worship, licensed outpatient health care facilities, and some hospitals and museums are allowed as of right (ZR 42-131, 42-132). Schools need a special permit from the Board of Standards and Appeals; libraries, community centers, non-profit institutions and most other community facilities need one from the City Planning Commission (ZR 42-133). The community facility floor area shown is what the zoning allows once a use is permitted.

  • Note

    Rezoning under discussion

    North Shore Waterfront Plan (Empire Outlets and former New York Wheel sites), CEQR No. 26DME018R. It is pending, with its environmental review at the scoping stage. The figures above use current zoning, not the proposed zoning.

Nearest rail station: St George (Staten Island Railway), 460 ft in a straight line.

What this doesn't account for

Public data and the zoning text answer the questions above. These need information that is not public, or a decision that belongs to the City.

  • Public land use review (ULURP). Selling or leasing City land, or approving a housing project on it, generally goes through ULURP (community board, borough president, City Planning Commission, City Council), and this estimate does not presume the outcome.
  • Disposition of City property (Charter 384 / UDAAP). Transferring the land needs Mayoral approval under Charter Sec. 384 and, for HPD projects, usually Urban Development Action Area designation and project approval under NY General Municipal Law Article 16.
  • Environmental review (CEQR/SEQRA). Any discretionary approval, disposition or City funding triggers CEQR/SEQRA review, which can require mitigation (e.g. for hazardous materials, noise or historic resources) or reshape the project.
  • (E) designations. A lot with an (E) designation or environmental restrictive declaration for hazardous materials, air quality or noise cannot receive building permits until the Office of Environmental Remediation signs off.
  • Subsurface and site conditions. Unknown soil, rock, groundwater and contamination can shrink or eliminate cellars and add foundation and cleanup costs, and HPD requires every project to investigate and, if needed, remediate contamination.
  • Deed restrictions and reverter clauses. Land the City bought or sold may carry deed restrictions or reverter clauses limiting its use, which must be checked in title records (ACRIS) and DCAS's deed-restriction database.
  • Parkland alienation. If a site is municipal parkland, it cannot be sold or used for housing without an act of the State Legislature signed by the Governor.
  • Current occupants, uses and agency plans. Many City-owned lots are in active use or assigned to an agency, or have funded capital projects, and this estimate does not reflect relocation needs or agency plans (check COLP and the Capital Commitment Plan).
  • Mapped streets, easements and utilities. Mapped-but-unbuilt ('paper') streets, sewer and water easements and utility lines can take land out of the buildable area, and no permit may be issued for a building in the bed of a mapped street.
  • Street access. A lot with no frontage on a mapped street cannot get a building permit on its own and must be combined with a neighboring lot or have access mapped.
  • Landmarks review. Sites that are individual landmarks or inside historic districts need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, which can limit demolition, height and bulk.
  • Flood-resistant construction. Sites in the 1% annual chance floodplain (or the 0.2% shaded X-Zone for critical facilities) must meet Building Code Appendix G, whose elevation and floodproofing rules can cost usable ground-floor and cellar space.
  • Airport height limits. Near JFK, LaGuardia and Floyd Bennett Field, zoning flight-obstruction surfaces cap building height, and tall structures anywhere need FAA notice.
  • State and federal funding conditions. Federal or State money brings its own requirements (e.g. HUD environmental review under 24 CFR Part 58, Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, Section 3 hiring) that can change cost, timing and program.
  • Zoning capacity is a ceiling, not a plan. The figures show what zoning allows, and actual HPD projects often build less, for example to fit neighborhood context, a community facility or funding limits.

Notes
On September 25, 2026, the MapPLUTO records and zoning district map behind this page were compared with DCP's live MapPLUTO (26v2) and zoning district layers for all 3 of its lots; every compared field and district boundary matched. A separate calculation, written from the method page and run on the same downloaded City data on September 25, 2026, reproduced the 3 lots and their area (703,608 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (community facility 1,688,659 sq ft), and the flags and what limits the site first. It also finds that current zoning does not allow homes on this site.

Open data issues for this site are listed on the method page.
