Located on the former Municipal Parking Lot 3 in Downtown Flushing, Queens, One Flushing is New York’s first fully integrated, intergenerational residential project – with seniors and families living side by side in a first-class development. The irregularly shaped site is just over 43,000 square feet and sits between the Long Island Railroad Flushing station to the north and 41st Avenue to the south. After being selected, the development team worked with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the local Community Board to rezone the site to C4-5X with a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing overlay. The completed building has four major components: 232 affordable apartments including 66 units for low-income seniors, 14,000 square feet of community facility space including a senior center, a community center and non-profit office space, 20,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space for local businesses, and a 156-space underground parking garage. The building’s amenities include over 18,000 square feet of planted and active roofs--including a rooftop farm for residents -which also compliments other sustainable features such as a 134-kilowatt rooftop solar array and storm water reuse. A gym and community room round out the amenities.” Completed in January 2019 and fully leased, One Flushing was built to reflect surrounding neighborhood and has only served to enhance its vibrant community.
