As promised earlier this year, the New York City Economic Development Corporation has launched a request for expressions of interest (RFEI) to redevelop the crumbling, 80-acre Seaview Hospital complex at 460 Brielle Avenue, in central Staten Island. The city is seeking a development team to transform the former tuberculosis hospital into a mixed-use neighborhood called Sea View Healthy Community. There would be a mix of medical offices, retail spaces, residential units including affordable housing, community facilities, and public open space. Proposals are due March 24, 2017, DNAinfo reported.
The complex is located within the New York City Farm Colony-Seaview Hospital Historic District, so the Landmarks Preservation Commission must approve proposed new buildings or alterations to existing ones.

A piece of the property has already been rezoned to allow for some commercial properties like a supermarket, etc. The MTA also needs to improve bus service to the area.
Have the target to hospital for changes into new purposes, and want to be bespangled on mixed-use.
