Greystone Development's Curvy LIC Rental Tower Begins Construction
April 17, 2017
Quote:
Greystone Development has begun construction on a 23-story, 117-unit rental tower in booming Long Island City. The 105,000-square-foot venture will be the firm’s first in Queens and is sited at the foot of the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge at 24-16 Queens Plaza South. Greystone acquired the property for $23 million last year according to the Real Deal.
Greystone tapped the global architecture firm of Woods Bagot to mold the design. A preliminary rendering shows that the exterior of the existing 5-story building will be salvaged and a graceful modern addition will rise above. Horizontal spandrel areas will grow into balconies and morph from floor to floor — resulting in a dynamic undulating form a la Studio Gang’s Aqua Tower in Chicago.
