Grand Openings: 10 Major Real Estate Projects Coming to NYC This Year

Bisnow’s roundup spotlights 10 significant NYC developments slated to open in 2019—from Hudson Yards milestones to borough-defining projects like Dock 72, One Manhattan Square, and the Empire Outlets. Amid luxury towers and large office deliveries, the list also highlights innovative affordable housing that advances sustainability and resilience.

Featured among these is Beach Green Dunes II, developed by L+M Development Partners, The Bluestone Organization, and Triangle Equities. The eight-story Passive House project at 4519 Rockaway Beach Boulevard delivers 127 rental homes (income-restricted up to 100% AMI) and 2,500 square feet of dry flood–proofed commercial space.

Engineered for long-term coastal resilience and lower operating costs, Beach Green Dunes II employs geothermal heating and cooling alongside high-performance building systems. The project demonstrates how climate-forward design can pair with affordability to strengthen neighborhood sustainability in the Rockaways.
