Exterior work is moving along on The Prime, a 120,000-square-foot mixed-use project at 22-43 Jackson Avenue in Long Island CityQueens. Progress has been gradual since our last update in September, when the 11-story building had just recently topped out. Designed by SRA Architecture + Engineering and developed by Circle F, the structure features a curtain wall composed of a contrasting mix of white and gray paneling, which his now almost complete. Ryan Serhant of The Serhant Team and Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing: New York fame is marketing the 71 residences, which feature interior design by Andres Escobar of Lemay + Escobar and will average around 900 square feet apiece.

Recent photos from along Jackson Avenue and from the elevated Court Square subway platform show 22-43 Jackson Avenue still mostly wrapped in construction netting and scaffolding, with only some portions of the envelope exposed. Installation of the glass railings has yet to be completed, and the podium’s partial glass façade has also yet to be enclosed.

The southern façade has a number of stacked balconies on the corners above the future retail podium.

The northern profile is more visually uniform in terms of the building massing and curtain wall material.

Waterproofing and installation of the opaque metal panels has reached the mechanical section atop the flat roof parapet.

The exterior hoist has been taken down, and the void where it once stood is being steadily filled in with the architectural enclosure.

    For 675k, you can get a condo in the west side around Hells Kitchen and few left on the lower east side…….

  3. A lot of Chinese construction workers on this site. That inspires much confidence.
