In addition to taking a look at this address, which houses a 672,00-square-foot warehouse previously occupied by the Department of Education, the city is also considering two adjacent city-owned parking lots that belong to the Transportation and Small Business Services departments. These lots were also part of the property where Amazon planned to build its new headquarters. The [New York City Economic Development Corporation](https://edc.nyc/) will release the request sometime during spring 2025. In the area near the waterfront of the Anable Basin inlet, where Amazon had initially planned to build its headquarters, they will ask for uses that serve the community, as well as commercial and light industrial uses. Responses from the community that could help the city decide what potential projects would be feasible there will be accepted until the summer. This feedback could ultimately lead to the Economic Development Corporation making a more formal request for proposals once the neighborhood’s rezoning is completed by the end of 2025. A seven-month review would take place after the request is released this spring, culminating in a City Council vote.“ > **[NYC looking to redevelop LIC land previously set aside for ill-fated Amazon...](https://licpost.com/nyc-looking-to-redevelop-lic-land-previously-set-aside-for-amazon)** > > New York City plans to release a request for expressions of interest this spring in 44-36 Vernon Blvd. in Long Island City, which was meant to act as the New York City headquarters for Amazon before the company abandoned the plans in 2019 following... > **[City plots next ideas for former Amazon HQ2 site](https://therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/02/05/city-plots-next-ideas-for-former-amazon-hq2-site/)** > > Mayor Eric Adams’ administration will request expressions of interest for the Long Island City site, expected in the spring. ---
