Yeah I'm thinking something along that lines. With the parcel size, imagine several 300 ft towers, with 1000-3000 units in that range encompassing it. With a park lining the waterfront. Something along the lines of Astoria Cove or Greenpoint.
A large affordable component is key I think, and large plots like this can lead the charge to meeting the affordable housing quote.
But for all we know, it could be bigger and taller. Probably will find out Q2 of next year or even Q1 if the proposals are due February.
Throw in a school, some street improvements, a park, and it will have a good chance of succeeding. A little self contained community for the most part. Maybe a retail component, with residential on top. Could be a catalyst for the nearby blocks.
