Back in February of 2016, YIMBY reported on new building applications for 22-12 Jackson Avenue, in Long Island City. The lot’s former occupant has since been demolished, and now excavators are beginning to dig away at the site, which will imminently host an 11-story and 175-unit condominium development, designed by ODA New York.

Adam America is the site’s developer, and the firm purchased the site for $43.5 million back in the summer of 2015. The building’s residential component will span 164,668 square feet, which will result in units averaging about 940 square feet apiece. There will also be about 5,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, ensuring the project contributes to the neighborhood’s burgeoning shopping and restaurant scene.
Curbed reported yesterday that Paris Fiorino will be teaming up with ODA for the building’s interiors, and completion is expected by the summer of 2019, per the signage on the construction fencing.
