“NYCHA intends to dispose of parcels of land and an existing, vacant, one-story commercial buildings to facilitate construction of a mixed-use building featuring approximately 105 units of affordable housing. The existing vacant retail structures will be demolished and replaced with affordable housing with ground floor retail and community facility uses. The new building will also provide new housing for existing NYCHA residents. Through Transfer of Assistance, eligible Ocean Bay Apartments (Oceanside) households will have the opportunity to apply for a subset of units in the new building.

The parcels are located on Beach Channel Drive between Beach 53rd and Beach 54th Streets south of Oceanside Apartments and east of Bayside Apartments. NYCHA acquired the property, a blighted and underused shopping strip opposite Ocean Bay Apartments (Oceanside) consisting of seven contiguous parcels of approximately 37,111 square feet total, as part of the Ocean Bay HOPE VI Plan through eminent domain. Section 18 and RAD application submission dates, as well as construction start dates, have not yet been finalized.” (pg. 101)
