5Pointz-Replacing 22-44 Jackson Avenue’s 1,115 New Apartments Nearing Completion In Long Island City, Queens

Combined, the controversial pair are the largest new addition to the Long Island City residential market, and they’re finally nearing completion. The two towers located at 22-44 Jackson Avenue have long been topped-out, and are now barreling toward opening day, when they will finally add 1,115 residencies to the neighborhood. The project is housed on the former site of 5Pointz, a debatably cultural significant structure that exhibited some incredible street art. G&M Realty is the developer.

The façade for both buildings has reached the top floors, with glass nearing the top of the taller tower. They stand 41 and 48 floors respectively, peaking at 440 and 498 feet above street level. In total, the pair have created 1,210,000 square feet of new space. This includes a 40,000 square foot retail podium with parking, and 223 affordable housing units. Apartments will average 876 square feet apiece.

The pre-cast concrete facade is already starting to flake apart and crack - there are dozens of highly noticeable chips and fractures visible from the adjacent elevated train tracks. Once again, New York gets what it pays for...

5Pointz Site’s Residential Towers Nearly Complete At 22-44 Jackson Avenue In Long Island City

A new pair of residential towers at 22-44 Jackson Avenue is rising from the former home of the colorfully eye-catching street art space, 5Pointz warehouse. The buildings are topped out over Long Island City, Queens and are making their mark on the neighborhood’s growing skyline. The elevated 7 train curves around the construction site toward the Court Square station, just across the street from the massive 1,115-unit development. The complex is being designed by HTO Architects while G&M Realty is the developer. Mojo Stumer Associates is in charge of the interior design, which will feature a 5Pointz homage, a graffiti-style logo, and similar artwork around the interiors.

Recent photos show that the curtain wall is nearly finished, with several upper levels yet to be enclosed on the shorter, 41-story skyscraper. The taller, architecturally identical sibling stands 48 stories high. The entire site will yield about 1.21 million square feet of newly built space with each apartment averaging around 876 square feet. The development will include 223 affordable housing units, and about 40,000 square feet of retail space will be housed in the podium, along with parking.

22-44 Jackson Square is slated to be finished sometime before the end of the year.
