Smile NEW YORK | (QPX) 30-25 Queens Boulevard | 525 FT | 46 FLOORS

Best Development Site In Queens Plaza

The opportunity to build a tower with unobstructed views over the 59th Street Bridge into Manhattan cannot be beat. With all of the new construction projects rising in the area,
this location is one of the few that will not be blocked from the front facing Manhattan where you have prime sunset views. Furthermore, this is one of the last pieces of land
left to develop in Queens Plaza.
Quote:
Modern Spaces Commercial + Investment Division has been exclusively retained to arrange for the sale of an exceptional development site located at 30-25 Queens Boulevard,
29-00 Northern Boulevard, and 29-14 Queens Plaza East (“QPX”) in Long Island City. QPX spans three tax lots encompassing 25,177 square feet of land along the corner of
Queens Boulevard and Northern Boulevard.

The current owners have arranged for a ZLDA from neighboring properties to allow for an additional 117,328 buildable square feet to be ready for use by another developer.
The site, therefore, allows for a total of approximately 419,428 buildable square feet for residential or mixed-use development.

Situated adjacent to Sunnyside Yards in the back and unobstructed views over the 59th Street Bridge into Manhattan in the front, this is remarkably the most prime development site
in Queens Plaza and one of the only pieces of land left to develop. The location benefits from a strong condominium market and a neighborhood where rapid absorption
has substantially fostered rent growth and record-setting prices per square foot.

Transportation is also convenient with the closest subway station at the corner. New retail and commercial business in neighboring buildings will only drive the potential value here
by further connecting the streets into a live, work, play community.

Interesting. That lot needs a tower and this fits nicely.

Seems like a common design trend for high rise proposals in LIC lately.

Not bad, but just a filler for whatever gets built there. Could be something taller.

We'll probally see more of the likes. LIC and its proxies have been hot beds for new towers.

50-Story Tower Revealed In Preliminary Renderings For 30-25 Queens Boulevard, In Long Island City

Quote:
A 50-story skyscraper could potentially rise from an assemblage of three undeveloped lots in the heart of Long Island City, Queens. The combined 25,177-square-foot parcel is known as QPX and consists of 30-25 Queens Boulevard, 29-00 Northern Boulevard, and 29-14 Queens Plaza East. The property is located adjacent to Sunnyside Yards and is sandwiched between two new high-rise developments.

The current owner of the properties, LargaVista Companies, has arranged for a zoning lot development agreement from neighboring properties to allow for an additional 117,328 square feet of space. This would enable a scope of approximately 419,428 buildable square feet for residential or mixed-use development. Given these dimensions, it would be possible for a skyscraper of substantial height and bulk to rise from the property, as depicted in the rendering.

Renderings, which were posted to YIMBY Forums, depict a sleek glass-clad structure surpassing the roof level of the neighboring 496-foot-tall ALTA LIC. The floor-to-ceiling windows are separated by thin white mullions that run the full height of the building, and are divided by horizontal bands in groups of three to five floors each. A series of small setbacks are positioned near the base of the building on the northern elevation and are topped with landscaping. Another setback three-quarters of the way up the structure could support an outdoor terrace, as could the roof, which appears to have a glass railing around its perimeter.

According to LargaVista, Fogarty Finger is the architect behind the conceptual renderings. The design bears a close resemblance to another skyscraper from the firm proposed in the vicinity, by Charney Companies and Tavros Capital, at 45-03 23rd Street.

30-25 Queens Boulevard and 29-14 Queens Plaza East were formerly occupied by a parking lot, gas station, and commercial structure, with demolition permits filed for the latter two components in 2016. The site at 29-00 Northern Boulevard is vacant.

Due to its position at the end of Queens Plaza, the property will yield excellent views to the west of the Queensboro Bridge and the Manhattan skyline that will not be obstructed by future construction. The location is also convenient for transportation, with an entrance to the Queens Plaza subway station, serviced by the E, M, and R trains, at the corner of the lot.

It's eerie how close the massing and facade design are to a project I worked on for Jersey City last year...

The parking lot next to ALTA has closed and site prep is underway. The basic diagram for the building looks somewhat similar to what was posted here earlier. The construction end date is March 2025.

525 ft, minus any rooftop additions…

So clearly this design has nothing to do with the Fogerty Finger renderings from a few years ago. Too bad. That would have been a good looking building. This rough rendering looks like a bore.

Par for the course in LIC, I'm sorry to say. Even with a few artistic roots between MoMA PS1 and the Noguchi Museum, the neighborhood's buildings are sorely lacking in style.

On the bright side, this is going to continue adding people and depth to an intensely expanding stretch along Jackson between Queens Plaza down to 23rd. I believe there are currently 9 towers U/C in just that stretch of about 8 blocks.

That was more for marketing of the lot, not the actual proposal. I still haven't seen what the actual building looks like.

Are there any other diagrams showing the western elevation? I'm wondering about the space in between the Alta tower next door depicted by that gray box and whether there is any kind of subterranean easement being preserved by the MTA for any possible alignment running through Queens Plaza that would use the 60th St tunnel.

The train/skyscraper canyon being created in Long Island City is super neat
