East Hampton Affordable Multiple Residence Zoning Provision
February 2026
East Hampton has updated its zoning code to allow a specific type of small-footprint, multi-unit housing under what the Town calls the Affordable Multiple Residence Provision. This zoning pathway applies only to certain properties and comes with strict requirements around lot size, site planning, environmental constraints, and approvals. In practice, very few parcels actually qualify, and even fewer projects truly make financial and regulatory sense. The difference between a viable project and an expensive mistake usually comes down to early, disciplined feasibility work—before you spend serious money on design, engineering, or applications.
Destinations LLC specializes in that front-end reality check. We work with landowners to evaluate whether their property can support an Affordable Multiple Residence project, what a realistic layout and unit count might be, what approvals and consultants will be required, and what the project is likely to cost to build in East Hampton’s real-world conditions. Our role is to reduce risk, clarify options, and help you decide—early and with clear numbers—whether to move forward, redesign the concept, or walk away before the project gets expensive.
