New views of the two-tower Gotham Point development

The Gotham Organization and RiseBoro Community Partnership have revealed images of Gotham Point - a new high-rise complex now taking shape at the Hunter’s Point South neighborhood in Long Island City.

The project, according to multiple published reports, will consist of two towers and featuring a combined total of 1,132 residential units - roughly 75 percent of which will be affordable housing.  Both buildings are now under construction, and are expected to open in 2021 and 2022.

The rent-stabilized housing is expected to cater to a wide array of income levels, with maximum limits ranging from $25,080 to $137,940, and limits for individuals and from $35,790 to $197,845 for a four-person household.  Minimum income limits range from $15,806 to $73,166 for individuals, and from $23,692 to $126,686 for a four-person household.  Additionally, senior apartments will be offered to those earning between $15,806 and $85,920.

Handel Architects is designing the project, which is depicted in renderings as a pair of glass-and-steel towers.  Plans call for plank flooring, stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, and dishwashers in all apartments.

Gotham Point is one component of a larger project announced in 2013 by then New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to bring 5,000 new apartments Hunters Point South.
