Kingston Business Park Redevelopment

After an RFP process, the City of Kingston has contracted Buro Happold to provide architectural and design concepts for potential housing and/or mixed-used development in the Kingston Business Park. The winning team also includes MVRDV as the architecture and design lead and Assemblage as landscape architect lead.

The City of Kingston and the Kingston Local Development Corporation (KLDC) are seeking to understand the feasibility of adding housing to the Kingston Business Park, the 107-acre property located at 370-384 Delaware Avenue and currently owned by the KLDC. After a competitive RFP process, Buro Happold’s proposal for Preliminary Site Planning and Architectural Studies for the Kingston Business Park project was selected.

First established in 1998, the Business Park was originally designed to accommodate four to five light manufacturing facilities totaling 300,000-500,000 square feet, utilizing approximately 40-50 acres for commercial development. Currently, there are two active commercial tenants: Howmet Aerospace and Community Manufacturing Solutions. The selected firm will help the City and the KLDC perform initial site analysis based on a review of undeveloped parcels in the Business Park, explore possible types of residential and/or mixed-used development possible under the City’s form-based zoning code, and recommend other types of programming that could complement any new development. Buro Happold will also assist the City in analyzing placement of any new development based on the site’s environmental features.

The design study is expected to be completed Spring 2025. The study is funded by an allocation of the City of Kingston's American Rescue Plan funding from the federal government.
