Where Innovation Meets Home

Long Island City's new innovation district combines affordable housing with cutting-edge workspace, creating a community where the next generation can live and work.

Description

The Long Island City Innovation District reimagines the relationship between affordable housing and economic opportunity. By co-locating 10,800 deeply affordable units with 500,000 square feet of subsidized innovation workspace, the project creates a self-sustaining live-work ecosystem.

Resident entrepreneurs receive priority access to workspace, mentorship programs, and seed funding through a partnership with the New York City Economic Development Corporation. The goal: enable residents to build businesses that keep them in their homes long-term.

The project's location — steps from the 7, E, M, N, W, and G subway lines — makes it one of the best-connected affordable housing developments in New York City, providing residents with unparalleled access to opportunity across the five boroughs.
