The application period for rentals at Phase 1 of the Hunters Point South Development in Long Island City Queens, began on Wednesday 15th October 2014. The long anticipated lottery for these 925 affordable housing units in the burgeoning community finally opened up to the pubic after several years of planning and development.

Hunter’s Point South is located on the waterfront of Long Island City in the borough of Queens in New York City. It is a newly developing neighborhood with high-rise apartments under construction, an incredibly beautiful park and unobstructed views of the world famous New York skyline. Just one stop away from Manhattan on the NYC subway, it is literally a stone’s throw away from the magnificent New York skyline.

The New York skyline is probably the most famous skyline in the World, and Hunter’s Point South with its two gorgeous parks – Hunters Point South Park and Gantry Plaza State Park – is probably the perfect place to view the Manhattan skyline, take fantastic photos, and spend a moment savoring the magnificence of New York City. These parks are indeed two precious jewels on the Long Island City waterfront.

On Wednesday, August 28 2013, New York City officials gathered at the Long Island City waterfront in Queens, New York to jointly unveil the new Hunter’s Point South Park. Mayor Bloomberg ceremoniously cut the red ribbon to officially open the park and address to the attendees. In his remarks he outlined his vision for the development of the Hunter’s Point South neighborhood and the projects currently underway.
