Construction is finishing up on 27-01 Jackson Avenue, a 27-story residential tower in the Court Square district of Long Island City, Queens. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by American Lions, a joint venture between Fetner Properties and Lions Group, the 151,141-square-foot structure will yield 164 rental units with one-third reserved for affordable housing, as well as ground-floor retail space and approximately 90 parking spaces on the first three levels. The property is located at the corner of Jackson and 43rd Avenues, directly across from The Italic, its taller sibling at 26-32 Jackson Avenue.
The reflective glass curtain wall reached the final residential floor and the mechanical bulkhead was enclosed in a dark metal screen since our last update in mid-October, when the uppermost floors of the reinforced concrete superstructure were still exposed. Recent photographs also show the construction hoist fully dismantled from the eastern elevation facing Jackson Avenue and the gap in the exterior filled in. The wraparound sidewalk shed remains in place, but could be removed within the next few weeks now that all work above has concluded. Interiors should be well underway at this point.

The renderings in the main photo and below depict The Bold along with its taller sibling The Italic. Both towers feature glass curtain walls with thin mullions, and landscaping will populate the top of the podium for 27-01 Jackson Avenue.

The nearest subway stations from the property include Queens Plaza to the northeast, servicing the E, F, and R trains; the elevated Queensboro Plaza station to the north for the 7, N and W trains; and both the interconnected Court Square and Court Square-23 Street stations to the southeast served by the 7, E, F, and G trains.
YIMBY anticipates The Bold at 27-01 Jackson Avenue to complete construction by this summer.

I literally could not point out which building this is in a police lineup of all the other buildings in Long Island City
haha well said. It feels like 3rd Ave in the 50’s…..anonymous glass towers.
Nothing bold about that at all.
Yet another glass box that looks even duller than the rendering – The Boring.
The Bold!! This is showing an ability of glass, to take its structure with the neighborhood: Thanks to Michael Young.
Is this what qualifies as “bold” in LIC?
Criminally bland
Love it!
Almost two floors of mechanical floors with vents so close to the street is reprehensible and very pedestrian-hostile. The rest of the building is incredibly bland to boot. Why would they choose SLCE? Don’t they just value-engineer the work of other architects, usually?
