A group of New York City developers is moving forward with a plan to build a mixed-use district covering five city blocks in Astoria, Queens. The developers say they plan to invest $2 billion in the project, dubbed Innovation QNS.
The New York City Council recently voted to approve land use applications filed by Kaufman Astoria Bedrock I LLC and Silverstein Astoria Member LLC for the project designed by master plan architect ODA. The developers, BedRock Real Estate Partners and Silverstein Properties, have also partnered with film and television studio Kaufman Astoria on the project.
