Two New LIC Developments to Look Out For

Man, it is hard to keep track of all the development in Long Island City. Here are two new projects in the works for 24-12 42nd Road (between 24th and Crescent Streets) and 25-19 43rd Avenue (between 27th and Crescent Streets). 24-12 42nd Road — rendered above — is an eight-story, 36-unit building with 4,328 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor. New York IMBY reports that it’ll be developed by The Ampiera Group. There’s currently a two-story building on the development site, but it’s slated to be demolished soon.

Then the DOB issued permits for a new building at 25-19 43rd Avenue, where Ekstein Development plans a nine-story, 86-unit condo. No renderings available yet, but the architect of record is GF55 Partners, who have done a lot of work throughout Queens. BuzzBuzzHome reports that the corner development, which spans four different lots, “will measure about 68,145 square feet, with parking for 17 cars, bicycle storage and a resident lounge.” (Public records show that Ekstein paid around $13,349,000 to acquire all those parcels.) Demolition work began this March; Ekstein plans to launch condo sales next year.
