NEW YORK | 24-16 Queens Plaza South (Hero LIC) | 300 FT | 23 FLOORS
I checked and no thread for this LIC project. Scaffolding is being placed for work on the property, which will see an 18 floor addition.

Always nice to see the original building being preserved, I just wish they’d set the tower a little further back on the lot (maybe by going a little taller and slimmer?) so as not to visually overwhelm the old building. In that regard it kind of reminds me of some of the newer projects in Toronto where the historic facades have been retained but look like they’ve been swallowed up by the new buildings. Overall though it’s good to see a developer give some thought to preserving the urban fabric in a place like Queens.

Wow that new rendering is stunning. More of this in LIC, please.

I'm not sure how great this project will look...especially since they repainted the initial structure with a drab grey.

Love that they preserved the original building, this is what needs to be done far more in NYC. would be somewhat awesome if we had an area where all buildings were modern, but preserved the tenement building facades below.

Compare actual black brick (as suggested by the rendering) https://assets.londonist.com/uploads...5/p1170758.jpg To just plain painted brick http://manningfamily.org/wp-content/...black-roof.jpg I think whatever swatch or asset the renderer used was of actual black brick rather than brick painted over, which could have mislead a developer to go with the appealing look of black/grey brick over keeping the original bare brick facade. |
