New photos of Willets Point show off NYC’s largest all-affordable development in decades

Willets Point, New York City’s largest new all-affordable housing development in decades, has welcomed its first residents. The first affordable homes at Willets Point Commons opened earlier this year, with 880 units across two buildings. Upon completion, the Willets Point development will bring an unprecedented 2,500 units of affordable, workforce, and moderate-income housing for individuals, families, and seniors to the former industrial Queens neighborhood. Located across from Citi Field, the development by Queens Development Group (QDG), a joint venture of Related Companies and Sterling Equities, is part of a growing community of retail and entertainment opportunities, including the city's first professional soccer stadium. New photos offer a first look at the new apartments and the suite of amenities available to residents.
