I agree. I think thats the next hot spot for activity. A lot of those warehouses and auto repair shops are prime targets. Valuable land, right now, currently blight, but just like LIC use to be full of such blights, in time, it'll be snatched up.
Funny thing with LIC is that there is not enough supply to meet the demand. Even though the Amazon deal collapsed, even with that factor, the demand is extraordinary.
On a side note, that area is within proximity of Sunnyside Yards, which could be a mega development once all of the regulatory bs and environmental studies along with ownership transfers occur. But Sunnyside is long term. I just hope they maximize the potential of that area, and not make it one giant park with limited housing. Ideally, I'd love to see 50,000 units built on those yards over 15 years. Ideally. But we shall see.
