$225M Tower Coming to Jamaica AirTrain Station Area

A $225 million high-rise with retail space and several hundred apartments will be built near the Jamaica AirTrain station — part of series of developments seeking to transform the neighborhood, officials announced Thursday.
The project, planned for 93-01 Sutphin Blvd., at the corner of Archer Avenue, is the largest private investment in Downtown Jamaica in decades, according to the nonprofit Greater Jamaica Development Corporation, which owns the land.
The building, which will be constructed by BRP Companies, a New York-based development corporation, will replace a Duane Reade store, located on the north side of the LIRR and AirTrain stations.
Last year, Greater Jamaica officials said that according to preliminary discussions a residential project at the site would include as many as 500 mixed-income apartments, but on Thursday morning Greater Jamaica would not confirm those figures, saying that details are still being worked out.
The tower project follows the announcement last year of plans to construct a $35 million hotel with 210 rooms in the same area, but south of the AirTrain station.
