190-unit affordable housing development planned in Jamaica

A 190-unit senior affordable housing development is being planned at 97-04 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica, Queens. BG Sutphin LLC is listed as the primary applicant on the application.

The site has been owned by a health care facility, currently called the Community Healthcare Network, since the 1980s.

According to the filing, the development will have approximately 16,500-square-feet of community facility space.

The developer seeks a zoning map amendment from C4-5X/DJ to C6-3/DJ and a zoning text amendment to establish a mandatory inclusionary housing (MIH) area to facilitate the development.

No plans have been filed with the NYC DOB at the property since 2011.
