New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday unveiled a proposal to build approximately 3,000 homes and 60 acres of public space on the site of the former Flushing Airport in College Point, Queens. The development will be led by Cirrus Workforce Housing and LCOR Incorporated, with construction expected to begin in 2028.
After Adams issued an executive order last year requiring city agencies to identify potential sites for new housing, the New York City Economic Development Corporation led a competitive RFP process to identify a developer for the former Flushing Airport. The airport has been vacant since 1984.
“For too many decades, this valuable land has sat vacant, but our administration said it was time to change that,” said Adams. “We issued a landmark executive order to build housing on city-owned sites like this one and now, we are excited to announce we will create around 3,000 new homes at the site of the former Flushing Airport.”
