NEW YORK CITY — A partnership between locally based developer Slate Property Group and RiseBoro Community Partnership has begun leasing Baisley Pond Park Residences, a 318-unit affordable housing redevelopment project in Queens. The property is a conversion of the 350-room JFK Hilton Hotel, which was originally built in 1987.
Situated in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, the complex offers studio, one- and two-bedroom units. Amenities include a fitness center, computer lounge and multiple common rooms. Monthly rents range from $784 for a studio to $1,493 for a two-bedroom apartment. As part of the conversion, the development team replaced all major building and mechanical systems, including new all-electric heating and cooling systems to reduce emissions.
Aufgang Architects designed the project, which had a total price tag of about $167 million.
