Willets Point Platform and Buildings

The next phase of transformation in Willets Point is the result of historic public-private investment to turn the area into a true mixed-use, mixed income neighborhood—turning the tide on decades of neglect to bring the community long-term economic opportunity.

In November 2022, Mayor Adams announced a vision for Willets Point that is anchored by 2,500 new affordable homes, the largest 100-percent affordable, new construction housing project in New York City in 40 years. The plan will also bring New York City’s first soccer-specific stadium along with public open space, a hotel and neighborhood-serving, ground-floor retail shops that will create good-paying jobs for community residents. All told, the project is expected to create over 16,000 jobs as well as generate $6.1 billion in economic impact over the next 30 years.
