STATEN ISLAND - A mixed-income housing development is coming to Staten Island's North Shore.
What we know
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) President Andrew Kimball announced their plan to build 500 new mixed-income housing units on the North Shore of Staten Island.
"With today's announcement, we are checking another key box of our North Shore checklist." New York City Mayor Eric Adams
Artimus and Phoenix Realty Group are the developers that will build the housing units on two vacant land parcels along the New Stapleton Waterfront.
A quarter of the units will be reserved for affordable housing.
The project is part of the mayor's "Staten Island North Shore Action Plan," which he first mentioned over two years ago.
"New York is a five-borough city, and I am a five-borough mayor. That is why we have put Staten Island front and center from day one of this administration," Adams said at a press conference.
The development will be the largest mass timber residential project in New York City, using the more sustainable construction material to "reduce the project's carbon footprint and speed up its timeline."
"This project is a milestone for New York City — bringing mass timber construction to scale while delivering affordable housing and good jobs," said Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development and Workforce Adolfo Carrión Jr.
Construction is expected to begin in 2027.

Coney Island booms with new all-affordable housing tower near famed Parachute Jump
Mayor Eric Adams on Monday helped break ground on an all-affordable apartment tower in the shadow of Coney Island's famed Parachute Jump – the latest in the area's sizzling real estate development. Adams grabbed a shovel to join executives from developer BFC Partners, along with those from Citi, Goldman Sachs and two city agencies at 1709 Surf Ave. The 420-unit building, behind the Coney Island boardwalk, will complete the final phase of a trio of properties BFC has brought to the once-underutilized blocks between West 16th and West 18th Street. The three buildings will add 1,242 new apartments. Advertisement 3 Mayor Eric Adams joins development, bank and city agency executives at Monday's groundbreaking for BFC Partners' 1709 Surf Avenue in Coney Island. Katie Prael Like LCOR's at 1515 Surf Ave., between West 15th and West 16th streets, it's another worthy addition to the Coney Island residential market, which is growing rapidly thanks to 2009 rezoning. The LCOR is an all-electric, 463-unit, towers-on-a-podium project which we had the pleasure to tour last week. Advertisement More than a half-dozen new projects have opened or will open soon on or near Surf Avenue, as Adams pushes a plan to deliver 1,500 affordable homes and to invest in new infrastructure. The new buildings by several different developers aren't as glamorous as John Catsimatidis' Miami-inspired Ocean Drive towers at the peninsula's western end. 3 The Parachute Jump near Maimonides Park, where the Cyclones play. Steve Cuozzo/NY Post But they boast handsome exteriors, stylish modern apartments, stunning views, swimming pools, screening rooms, lounges, and athletic and health facilities. Advertisement They're a short stroll to the Stillwell Avenue subway station, the boardwalk and beach, and the Cyclone and other thrill rides. The only thing is missing is stores and eating places for a more affluent population. Except for a Milk & Honey cafe coming this year at 1515 Surf, that avenue and nearby Mermaid and Neptune avenues are mostly bereft of good shopping and dining options. (White-tablecloth Italian restaurant Gargiulo's is the historic exception.) 3 West view from LCOR's at 1515 Surf Ave. Steve Cuozzo/NY Post Advertisement The new buildings have ample ground-floor retail spaces. The problem so far is drawing tenants to them. That's due partly to the scarcity until recently of enough residents to support mid-market retail, and partly to the neighborhood's outdated reputation for crime and homelessness. The city's Economic Development Corp., the Coney Island Alliance business-improvement district and the developers, too, need to step up here. Otherwise, the 'new' Coney Island will remain less than the fully-realized community it needs to be.

Uber Says New NYC Courier Rule ‘Singles Out' Immigrant Workers
Uber Technologies Inc. is pushing back on a new NYC proposal requiring delivery app workers to display company-issued identification numbers on reflective vests, saying it 'singles out' immigrant workers for 'heightened surveillance and control.' The new rules, proposed Monday by Mayor Eric Adams in the name of worker safety, would mandate that companies like Uber and DoorDash Inc. issue identification cards containing a unique number alongside the name and photo of each courier. They would be required to produce it upon demand of a police officer or others 'authorized by law.'
