Foundation work has reached street level at 23-02 42nd Road, the site of a 37-story mixed-use building in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by Fogarty Finger and developed by Werwaiss Properties, the 372-foot-tall structure will yield 230,000 square feet with 240 residential units spread across 163,000 square feet, as well as 10,000 square feet of commercial space and 91 parking spaces. Suffolk Construction Company is the general contractor for the property, which is located between 23rd and 24th Streets.
Recent photos show the concrete foundations largely complete behind the green construction fencing. Several sections of the ground-floor slab have been poured and sit beneath white plastic sheets, while other portions have yet to be formed. The remainder of this work should wrap up in the coming weeks and the superstructure could begin to ascend before the end of the year.

The rendering in the main photo was recently added to the construction board and illustrates the look of the finished tower. The massing incorporates a multistory podium with a setback along 42nd Road topped with a glass railing, above which the tower rises uniformly up to a flat parapet. The façade is composed of floor-to-ceiling glass framed with a grid of white paneling with horizontal groups of two to five stories, giving the design the look of a stacked set of rectangular volumes. It also appears that there will be a rooftop terrace on the northern corner below the roof line.
23-02 42nd Road has a completion date of April 2025 posted on site.

Do people like living next to an elevated subway line?
You have to build somewhere.
With several parts put together in a foundation way, and details into the new building make me interested on its state of working now. To different happen with the facade is connected to horizontal, it feels more lively that showing what design must appear: Thanks to Michael Young.
