The New Stapleton Waterfront District is a 35-acre decommissioned Navy Base that is being redeveloped into a mixed-use neighborhood with housing, waterfront open space and retail and community facility uses. It will also include significant infrastructure improvements such as road reconstruction, bicycle and walking paths, and better connections to public transit.

As part of the larger initiative, Site A was designated for an affordable housing development and a potential school. The currently vacant site is located on the northern portion of the New Stapleton Waterfront, it is a few minutes south of Hannah Street and is bordered by the New York Bay on the East, Site B1 to the South and the SIRR tracks on the West. It is accessible by both the SIRR Tompkinsville and Stapleton stations, and a 10-minute walk from the Bay Street commercial corridor. Site A can accommodate approximately 300 new affordable apartments as well as ground floor community and/or retail spaces.
