Developer chosen for Jamaica project on 168th Street

The Greater Jamaica Development Corporation (GJDC) has announced a joint venture between BRP Companies and Wharton Properties to purchase and develop a site located at 90-02 168th Street. The open-air parking lot just north of Jamaica Avenue will become a 500,000-square-foot development with more than 300 mixed-income residential units with 70,000 square feet of retail space.

The project is slated to break ground in the second half of 2018.

This is BRP’s second project in Jamaica. Across from the AirTrain Station at 93-01 Sutphin Boulevard, the firm is currently building The Crossing at Jamaica Station, a $407 million, 773,000-square-foot mixed-use project with 669 unit of mixed-income housing.
