Aufgang Architects with OSD’s adaptive reuse of the former JFK Hilton at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City is underway. The once 350-room hotel is being renamed Baisley Pond Park Residences, a 318-unit development for formerly houseless persons for a nonprofit client called the RiseBoro Community Partnership. OSD is designing the project’s indoor-outdoor greenhouse space. This is the first case study for New York state’s $200 million HONDA hotel conversions program, a COVID-era program that was launched in 2021. The projected cost of the conversion is $167 million.
