Hunter's Point

Name of two urban industrial areas, in the US cities of San Francisco and New York. Hunter's Point in San Francisco, one of the city's few heavy industrial zones, is located on the bay and has long been the site of extensive drydocks and shipyards. A huge naval repair base was constructed here during World War II, but the area has since suffered decline. In New York City, Hunter's Point is situated in the far west of Queens, on the East River opposite the United Nations building in Manhattan, and is famous for the huge Pepsi-Cola sign that stands on the waterfront.

Today's announcement moves the Hunters Point South development forward with a giant step," Queens Borough President Helen Marshall said in a statement last Thursday.
The city took possession of 30 acres of western Queens riverfront property this month where it is creating plans to build the city's largest middle-income housing project since the 1970s, known as Hunters Point South.
[NY Times] Queens groups are concerned that Hunters Point South only sets aside affordable housing for middle-income families, and not those that—like roughly half the households in the borough—make less than $55,000.
