But how real are they?<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Eric Adams put his clout behind a newly revealed plan for a soccer stadium, hotel and \u00a0 \u201caffordable\u201d residential complex in Willets Point next to Citi Field. Meanwhile, a key City Council subcommittee <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roved an amended plan for a controversial, five-block, mixed-use project in Astoria called Innovation QNS.<\/p>\n<p>Willets Point looks like an all-but-done deal even though actual buildings have yet to be designed. (The image on this page is conceptual.) Moreover, although the stadium is budgeted at $780 million, no estimates are available for the rest of the project.<\/p>\n<p>But even more\u00a0important than Adams\u2019 support is the full-on backing of Council member Francisco Moya, a soccer aficionado who represents the district and is cheerleading the stadium plan. Under the Council\u2019s notorious \u201cmember deference\u201d policy, the member who reps a district can single-handedly scuttle a project that requires public review \u2014 the way\u00a0Kristin Richardson Jordan did to\u00a0One45 in central Harlem last summer.<\/p>\n<p>The sexiest part\u00a0of the Willets Point complex on city-owned land must undergo the tortuous, seven-month Uniform Land Use Review Procedure \u2014 namely, the\u00a0stadium, 1,400 affordable apartments and a hotel. (Plans for Phase I, which will deliver the site\u2019s first 1,100 units and a 650-seat school, were approved in 2013.)<\/p>\n<p>But with Moya on board, the NYCFC, which will pay for the\u00a0stadium, and Related Companies and Wilpon-owned Sterling Equities, which will jointly develop the rest of the site,\u00a0shouldn\u2019t have to sweat it out.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/cuozzo-queens-developments-059.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Willets Point rendering\" class=\"wp-image-24714942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/cuozzo-queens-developments-059.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/cuozzo-queens-developments-059.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/cuozzo-queens-developments-059.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>A hotel and \u201caffordable\u201d residential complex are planned for Willets Point. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">S9 Architecture<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Related, which has vast experience in building affordable housing across the US, is expected to tap city Housing Preservation and Development incentives\u00a0to make construction \u201caffordable\u201d for the developers.<\/p>\n<p>But Innovation QNS could be a different story.<\/p>\n<p>The $2 billion proposal\u00a0by Silverstein Properties, Kaufman Astoria Studios and BedRock Real Estate Partners to redevelop five low-rise blocks scored a win last week when it was approved by the City Council\u2019s Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/cuozzo-198.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"New York City FC plays the Philadelphia Union at Yankee Stadium on March 19, 2022.\" class=\"wp-image-24726166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/cuozzo-198.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/cuozzo-198.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/cuozzo-198.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>New York City FC plays the Philadelphia Union at Yankee Stadium on March 19, 2022.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The step followed major concessions by the developers.
