Setting Sights on More High-Rises in Long Island City City Hall Looks at Zoning Change, but Some Residents, Community Leaders Are Wary http://si.wsj.net/public/resources/i...0115160337.jpg By LAURA KUSISTO Jan. 15, 2015 Quote:

Hoping the rezoning allows for considerable commercial development. There's no reason this area should not be a decent sized business hub, only one stop from GCT.

I'd love to see that as well, but without considerable upgrades to the 7 (and transit in general), NYC will start to hit a wall WRT to new development because existing infrastructure cannot handle it. If you think about it, this is a prime location because Queensboro plaza has both the 7 and N/Q/R lines running through it, plus the E-train, but all of them are packed to the brim at rush hour. Something needs to change. |
I agree with your general point, and I have some coworkers who live in LIC who say the same thing, that the 7 train is packed during rush hour, but I imagine that's only the case going into Manhattan, and the trains going from Manhattan into Queens are probably relatively empty during rush hour once you get out of Manhattan. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Short term, rentals is the way to go, but long term, a neighborhood like this, this close to GCT, should at the very least have a significant commercial component. |

Same as with downtown Brooklyn, that was the plan. Things just have a way of going where the market is. http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/lic/lic1.shtml |
The amount of high rises up going outside of Manhattan is stunning. A bulk of the projects since I've been keeping track are actually in Queens. High and mid rises. Zoning like this will provide a good escape from the prices of Manhattan. What will be interesting is the trend in commuting, and how the system will handle "X' amount of new residents/visitors/workers. From a skyline perspective, it will only elongate the mass that is Midtown East. Think of LIC as an infant that will sprout the next skyscraper mass of NYC. Likewise for Brooklyn. Its starting to feel more interconnected to Lower Manhattan. Even though these two are separated by the East River, from certain angles and distances, you would think that they are a giant cluster.

Don't forget one of Tishman's nearby towers would be slightly taller, putting this one at 4th (5th overall)... http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/Jo...ssdocnumber=01 As far as the design goes, I guess it's to be expected. But the renders could be livelier, as we'll likely get more. A look at some of the other height adjustments in the area... http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/159414711/original.jpg |
Overall massing of the development...
Slight height increase, at least according to the diagram. That would make this one a little taller than Tishman's neighboring complex. http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/159625974/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/159625975/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/159625976/original.jpg |
