Willets Point, known as the "Iron Triangle," is a low-lying industrial enclave tucked between Citi Field and the Flushing River in Corona, historically packed with auto repair shops and scrap yards operating without sidewalks or sewers and prone to chronic flooding. Long the subject of ambitious redevelopment plans, the area is now undergoing a $4 billion transformation that will bring over 1,100 apartments, parks, and retail — anchored by Etihad Park, a 25,000-seat soccer stadium for New York City FC slated to open in 2027.
