Info
Anable Basin (also known as Eleventh Street Basin) is a 500 feet (150 m)-long artificial inlet of the East River located in the Long Island City section of Queens, New York. A public walkway along the southwest side of the basin was constructed as part of the Queens West development in 2012. The basin contains several private vessels, the former Water's Edge restaurant, a former Prudence Island ferry boat, and a floating dock owned by Long Island City Community Boathouse, used for its kayaking programs.In November 2018 New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, and New York governor, Andrew Cuomo, announced that Amazon would be building a large campus on the land surrounding the basin. The announcement followed months of secret negotiation, so Amazon could count on "a certain amount of certainty". The normal planning process was bypassed. The city's previous plans for the area was a "mixed use community filled with apartments, some of them for residents of more modest means."
