The triangular building will likely eventually give way to shorter tower down the road and the little red cornice fella might be a blessing in disquise as it could allow the MTA to build another entry/exit for the Flushing bound side of the station.
55-Story Skyscraper Readies for Vertical Construction at 24-19 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City, Queens
Quote:
Construction is about to go vertical at 24-19 Jackson Avenue, a 55-story residential skyscraper in the Court Square section of Long Island City, Queens. Designed by FXCollaborative and developed by Charney Companies and Tavros Capital in partnership with Incoco Capital, the 676-foot-tall structure will yield 600 apartments and 10,000 square feet of retail space. The 18,000-square-foot property is bounded by 45th Avenue to the north, Jackson Avenue to the southeast, and 23rd Street to the west.
Below-grade work has progressed steadily since our last update in December, when foundations were just getting underway and pilings were still visible. Several sections of the concrete slab have been poured around the core, and rebar protrudes at the locations of the inner walls and perimeter columns. Only a handful of excavators remain on site along the edges of the irregularly shaped property. YIMBY expects the superstructure to rise above street level later this spring.
