Project: 71-11 112th Street

The Reform Temple of Forest Hills and Weber Management have revealed plans to construct two mixed-use buildings at 71-11 112th Street in Forest Hills, Queens. The proposed buildings will surround an existing temple on parcels of land the congregation owns.

The first proposed building, listed as Lot 31, is a ten-story structure comprising approximately 162,500 square feet. The property would include 153 rentals with up to 46 affordable housing units, as well as 16,600 square feet of ground-floor community facility space and 66 underground parking spaces. Entrances to the residential space and the parking garage would both be located along 112th Street. The entrance to the community facility would face 71st Road.

The second building, listed as Lot 41, would top out at nine stories and span 23,800 square feet, with 20 apartments and 1,800 square feet of ground-floor community facility. Up to six of the units would be marketed as affordable housing.

As part of the development, the temple would be vacated and incorporated into the building at Lot 41.

Before construction can break ground, the proposed development requires zoning text amendments to facilitate the construction of a dense, mixed-use residential property. Proposals are now under review by the City Planning Commission.
