Today I was the epitome of laziness and instead of walking 24-minutes to my office, I opted to take the train roundtrip. Sometimes it's good to see what's going on above ground

My neighborhood desperately needs additional supermarkets and for the past several years now there's been a huge influx of Asian citizens moving into the area. Whoever's responsible for constructing this Asian-centric supermarket is going to make a fortune

Eight Story Complex Including Big Asian Supermarket Proposed for 38th Avenue in Dutch Kills

The development is expected to be eight stories tall and go up on 38th Avenue between 30th Street and Old Ridge Road. The top six floors would be for apartments, while the bottom two floors–totaling 12,000 square feet– to be set aside for an Asian supermarket.

Honeywell Street/Avenue consists entirely of a bridge (Honeywell Street bridge) which spans across the Sunnyside Train Yard. The bridge begins at Northern Blvd and ends at Stillwell Avenue. 1 Honeywell is the only property with an address on this street. The bridge was originally built in 1910 when the rail yard was built, but was closed due to structural deterioration during most of the 1980s and 1990s. The old bridge was demolished and rebuilt in 2002.

This is interesting. These frosted glass block windows have existed ever since this building first opened back in 1992. This is a LaGuardia Community College building. They have several buildings in this same area. I'm wondering and extremely curious whether they're planning on changing these windows. No info about this project on their website. This building was designed by famed architect 'Danforth Toan', renown for his brutalist designs.

Long Island City was originally reserved for factories and bakeries. The Long Island Expressway (LIE) has a Van Dam Street exit which runs right through this area and connects to Queens Boulevard and the 59th Street/Queensboro Bridge. That's city-bound traffic. The outbound city traffic exits the bridge via 21st Street, Queens Blvd or Thomson Avenue, which runs into Van Dam St and then several blocks down to the LIE. This building sits smack right on the corner of Thomson Avenue and Van Dam Street. Odd location for a college, though the land may have been cheaper back then.

For several years now, Long Island City had been gentrifying at a break neck speed. And whoever is responsible for changing the windows of this building knows that. It's not just a building. It's a statement. And a really good one. For it will change the dynamic of that entire neighborhood.

New Rendering Revealed For 29-15 40th Road in Long Island City, Queens

newyorkyimby.com/2024/04/new-rendering-revealed-for-29-15...

A new rendering has been revealed for 29-15 40th Road, an upcoming 12-story residential building in Long Island City, Queens. Few details have been made public about the project, which is being designed by Fogarty Finger Architects and developed by SB Development, which also acquired the adjacent lot at 29-13 40th Road for $8.7 million last fall.

This is 1 of 3 photos I'd taken in August 2022 of this large empty lot in Long Island City, Queens, NYC. I saved these photos for when something would eventually happen reference a major real estate deal. Welp, something considerable has indeed happened (see below)

Crain's New York Business, March 7, 2024

Midtown-based Fisher Bros. has parted ways with a Long Island City site where it once hoped to build a 240-unit project.

The real estate firm has sold 42-50 24th St. to developer Chris Xu's United Construction & Development for $57.5 million, property records show. The deal will add to Xu's already substantial portfolio of Queens projects.

The Hakim Organization and Property Markets Group bought the site in 2015 for $69 million, and the real estate website New York YIMBY published renderings of a 74-story tower planned for the address in 2018. However, in 2019 Fisher Bros. prefiled plans for a 35-story project at the site that would span about 255,000 square feet with 240 residential units, 40,000 square feet of commercial space and a hotel.

Stupid name for a building. Seems these new buildings may be receiving some kind of write off if they think up the dumbest, quirkiest name.

580 Park Avenue is a 14-story, 100-year-old cooperative building in Lenox Hill, New York.

The building was built in 1923 by renowned architect James E. R. Carpenter.

It has 60 apartments and a four-story limestone base.

The building's lot is 200 feet wide and 75 feet long.
