Field Update: Hunters Point South / SHoP Architects / November 4, 2013

Work is well underway on the first two towers of the 30 acre Hunters Point South development in Queens.  Once slated to be the Morphosis designed Olympic Village for the failed 2012 Olympic bid, the site's new master plan calls for a mixed use development with approximately 60 percent affordable to middle income units.  Phase One calls for 2 towers of 37 and 32 stories with over 900 affordable units, 20,000 square feet of retail, and a new public school building.  The SHoP Architects designed towers are expected to be completed by 2015, while the school and the adjacent waterfront park are already completed and operational.
