Rockefeller Group Development Corporation
 
   
 
New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced in July 2005 that a joint venture of The Rockefeller Group and TDC Development and Construction Corporation has been selected to redevelop a five-acre site in downtown Flushing, Queens, New York City.

The Flushing Commons development includes:
A one-acre town square of open space with a fountain plaza to be maintained by the developer
Parking for 2,000 cars with short-term parking at below-market rates, in response to community requests
A 50,000-square-foot recreational center featuring amenities such as a swimming pool, basketball courts and an exercise room, with memberships available to community residents
A 200-room hotel with meeting rooms and banquet facilities
Approximately 500 residential units, with 20% marketed to seniors
350,000 square feet of retail space including local and national retailers, restaurants and a multi-screen cinema
20,000 square feet of space for community or cultural tenants
15,000 square feet of space for small professional businesses

  The project will incorporate low-impact development techniques and green building technologies. The developer is committed to establishing job training programs to encourage hiring from the local community during construction and in permanent positions afterward.
