Arverne East is a multi-faceted development that will transform a 116-acre vacant, oceanfront site within the Arverne and Edgemere neighborhoods of Queens. Arverne East’s programming is guided by community engagement to produce a thoughtful approach to development - one that directly addresses community needs while reflecting and enhancing the surrounding community and cultures.

Arverne East will encourage a resilient, inclusive community that supports economic development, cultural diversity, and health and wellness with a positive social impact for all. The project will comprise a 35-acre publicly accessible nature preserve, a variety of mixed-income housing, diverse neighborhood retail, parking, necessary infrastructure improvements, and vital flood protection.  It will also include an urban farm, a boutique hotel, and sprawling open spaces for all surrounding community members to enjoy.
