Beach Green Dunes 3 Affordable Housing

Queens, NY

Located at 331 Beach 35th Street, this building will include 146 mixed-income apartments, 2,100 square feet of commercial space, and a 1,160-square-foot community center.

The mix of units will range from studios to three-bedroom apartments. Eligible residents include very low- to moderate-income households earning between 30 and 80 percent of the area median income (AMI) and formerly homeless individuals. A portion of the studio and one-bedroom units will also be reserved for low-income seniors over the age of 62.

The development will also create a new transit plaza offering pedestrian access from the building to the Beach 36th Street-Edgemere A Train subway station.

The building is designed to meet Passive House certification, a rigorous design standard that helps reduce carbon emissions and the amount of energy needed to maintain a constant, comfortable interior temperature. Additional energy efficient building components include LED lighting fixtures and smart controls, an advanced building monitoring system for real-time data on energy consumption, a solar-array on the roof, and a closed-loop geothermal system providing heating, cooling, and domestic hot water. Residential and retail components are also vaulted above base flood elevation to mitigate potential damage during a high-tide or flood water event.

When complete tenants will also have access to fitness areas, laundry rooms, a community room, a roof deck, bike storage, outdoor recreational spaces, and on-site parking.

Construction is ongoing, with occupancy expected in early 2025
