Pilings Underway For 49-Story Skyscraper At 26-32 Jackson Avenue In Long Island City, Queens

Piling work is underway at 26-32 Jackson Avenue, the site of a 49-story residential skyscraper in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by Albert Shirian of NY Lions Group, the 526-foot-tall structure will yield 384,043 square feet with 363 units averaging 1,003 square feet apiece, as well as 19,923 square feet of commercial space and a cellar level. Hunter Roberts Construction Group is the general contractor for the property, which is located between Dutch Kills Street and an elevated roadway of the Queensboro Bridge to the northeast, and Purves Street to the southwest.

Recent photos show piling machines prepping for the forthcoming foundation work. Much of the progress is obscured behind construction fencing.

The rendering for 26-32 Jackson Avenue in the main photo is oriented looking east and shows the tower rising uniformly from a tall multi-story podium. The exterior appears to be composed largely of glass panels with a thin grid of white mullions. A setback on the upper levels of the southwestern profile could potentially be topped with an outdoor terrace.

26-32 Jackson Avenue has an anticipated completion date of summer 2025.
