Public Ground

Plate 86 of 102QueensQueens Community Board 7

Willets Point - Northern Parcel

This site can hold about 310–396 homes under the zoning maximum for qualifying affordable housing. The top of that range is set by the dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52); qualifying senior housing is exempt from it and could hold up to about 445. The City's LIFT tracker lists 700 homes. That is more than current zoning allows here, because the special permit the City Council approved on April 11, 2024 (C 240092 ZSQ) moves up to 454,153 sq ft of floor area to this block, for an overall FAR of about 6.1; the figures here do not include that transfer.

City Planning's 2024 report plans about 710 homes for this parcel under that permit; the tracker lists 700.

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.

  • Special permit moves stadium floor area here (~710 homes)

    A 2024 special permit (C 240092 ZSQ, approved by the City Council on April 11, 2024) lets up to 454,153 square feet of floor area move from the stadium lot to this block, for an overall FAR of about 6.1. The approved plan is about 710 income-restricted homes with ground-floor retail and a garage.

  • Whole block is one zoning lot; all six lots now City-owned

    The Northern Parcel is the entire block between Seaver Way, Northern Boulevard, 126th Place and 34th Avenue: Block 1820, six tax lots, about 112,000 sq ft. In 2024 Lots 1, 9 and 18 were City-owned and the rest private; Lots 6, 34 and 108 were deeded to the City in September 2025, and MapPLUTO now lists all six lots as City-owned.

  • Auto-repair buildings demolished in 2026

    In 2024 most of the block held auto-repair uses on month-to-month leases. Full-demolition jobs for the buildings on Lots 1, 6, 34 and 108 were filed with the Department of Buildings in December 2025 and signed off between May 28 and June 23, 2026, though MapPLUTO still lists buildings on those lots.

  • Part of Willets Point Phase II with the T-Parcel and the Triangle Parcel

    This parcel is one of four zoning lots in the Willets Point Phase II approval, with the T-Parcel, the Triangle Parcel and the soccer stadium lot.

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

The special permit the City Council approved in 2024 (C 240092 ZSQ) allows up to 454,153 sq ft of floor area to be transferred to the Northern Lot, this block, for an overall FAR of about 6.1: about 684,000 sq ft on its 112,142 sq ft. The figures above are for current zoning without that transfer.

What binds first

Flood hazard

About 27% of the site (31,300 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. Flood-resistant construction shapes the ground floor and can reduce usable floor area.

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 27% of the site (31,300 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 5% of the site (5,460 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

    (E) designation E-214 and E-758

    An environmental requirement (hazardous materials, air quality and noise) must be satisfied before the Department of Buildings issues permits for new development.

  • Note

    Buildings still on record are gone

    MapPLUTO still reports that block 1820 lot 1 has a building on record with 39,400 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1930; Block 1820 lot 6 has a building on record with 4,360 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1940; Block 1820 lot 34 has 2 buildings on record with 612 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1989; Block 1820 lot 108 has 3 buildings on record with 4,268 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1938. Department of Buildings records show full-demolition jobs for the buildings on Lots 1, 6, 34 and 108, the lots where MapPLUTO lists buildings, signed off between May 28 and June 23, 2026. The figures are for the land.

  • Note

    In the Special Willets Point District

    Replaces the underlying bulk rules: zoning lots under 200,000 sq ft are capped at 2.0 FAR (2.4 for affordable or senior housing); larger lots have total-FAR caps by area and location, with 120 percent of the cap for affordable or senior housing. Its floor area rules are applied above (ZR 124-21).

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.

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 6 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 6 lots and their area (112,142 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 224,284; with qualifying affordable or senior housing 269,141; community facility 224,284 sq ft), the homes (low 314, base 389, high 396), and the flags and what limits the site first.
