Downtown Jamaica is getting ready for its renaissance. YIMBY spotted plans for a new mid-rise near Rufus King Park last week, and now another project has emerged two blocks east, near the Parsons Boulevard stop on the E and F trains. The latest development is headed to 153-33 89th Avenue, between Burdette Place and Parsons Boulevard.
A nine-story, mixed-use building will rise on a large parking lot there. Forty-six apartments will be stacked on top of a health care facility. Those apartments will be divided across 34,824 square feet of residential space, and the typical unit will come in at a rental-sized 757 square feet. Medical offices will fill 3,200 square feet on the ground floor, and five to six units will follow on each of the upper stories.
A 28-car garage will occupy the cellar levels, fulfilling the city’s car-friendly zoning requirements. There will also be two shared roof decks on the second and ninth floors and laundry in the cellar.
The developer is David Huang, doing business as an LLC headquartered in Little Neck, N.Y. He’s hired a Bayside-based firm called HCD Architecture to design the building.
Huang’s company purchased the parking lot for $785,000 in 2012, and it looks like they are planning to purchase a parking lot that belongs to an apartment building next door. The second lot is included in the development plans, but Huang doesn’t appear to own it yet.

My name is Deborah Brown. I was born and raised in New York. I’m retired after 35 years from State investigations. I worked at the World Trade Center, after 9/11 our office moved to 80 Maiden Lane; from there to Jamaica Ave, Gertz Plaza. I loved the move because I grew up in Laurelton, ran my own business, Lee, Ton, De, Wen, Inc. When I retired, I moved to Dacula Georgia in 2011 and have become involved in a number of senior activities, including catering for AARP, however, IT’S NOT NEW YORK. I WANT TO COME HOME. On that note, I’m very interested in a two bedroom condo, townhouse, Co-op, etc. in Harlem, Jamaica Ave,
