A ribbon-cutting ceremony was recently held to mark the official opening of Apex Place, a new three-tower affordable residential development at 62-11 108th St. in Forest Hills.
Apex Place has 441 total affordable housing units and yields 20,000 square feet of community space, including medical offices and a new community center for Queens Community House, a multi-site, multi-service house that helps Queens residents of all ages and backgrounds by providing them with the tools needed to enrich their lives, thus building healthy and inclusive communities.
Among the amenities available for Apex Place residents are rooftop decks, fitness rooms, children’s play areas, on-site storage lockers, a laundry facility, a bicycle room, and a naturally ventilated parking structure screened by greenery. The development is also located close to the 63rd Drive-Rego Park subway station, which services the M, R, E, and F trains.
Applications for the affordable housing units opened in September 2021 and closed in November of the same year.
The architecture firm FXCollaborative partnered with Curtis and Ginsberg Architects LLP to design Apex Place for the property’s owners, Phipps Houses. Apex Place is bound to the north by the Horace Harding Expressway, to the south by 62nd Drive, to the east by 108th Street, and to the west by Colonial Avenue.
