Werber Management, Reform Temple of Forest Hills seek rezoning for 153-unit mixed-use building in Forest Hills

Werber Management and the Reform Temple of Forest Hills submitted rezoning plans to facilitate the development of a 126,000-square-foot mixed-use building with 153 residential dwelling units at 71-11 112th Street in Forest Hills, Queens.

The applicant seeks a Zoning Map amendment to change an R1-2A zoning district to an R7D zoning district and a Zoning Text amendment to the New York City Zoning Resolution to establish the area as a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing Area in Appendix F.

The plans call for the construction of a 110-foot tall, 10-story, building with 16,600-square-feet of community space which will be occupied by the Reform Temple of Forest Hills. The dwelling units will be a mix of affordable housing units and market rate units. Of the total dwelling units, approximately 46 will bd affordable to households with incomes at or below eighty percent of the AMI.

The proposed rezoning would lead to the development occupying Block 2246, Lot 31.
