Queens Development Group (QDG), a joint venture between Related Companies and Sterling Equities, has officially opened the first 880 affordable residential units at Willets Point Commons. Residents began moving into the development this month, marking a significant milestone in the long-term transformation of the Willets Point district.

Concurrent with the opening, construction has commenced on Building 3, which will provide 220 additional affordable homes specifically for low-income seniors. This project serves as the final component of Phase 1. Subsequent plans for the neighborhood transformation include the delivery of 1,400 additional affordable homes, a public school, 150,000 square feet of public open space, a hotel, and a professional soccer-specific stadium.
