Construction is complete on The Green House, a 12-story residential building at 10-25 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by Studio V Architecture and developed by Charney Companies, the structure yields 46 rental apartments in studio to three-bedroom layouts, ground-floor retail space, and 40 on-site parking spots. AMC Builders was the general contractor for the project, which is bound by 50th Avenue to the north, Jackson Avenue to the southeast, and Vernon Boulevard to the west.
Recent photos show the completed look of the building and its green-glazed terracotta façade provided by Cladding Concepts framing the even grid of oversized floor-to-ceiling windows. All scaffolding has been dismantled from the property and only a few construction barriers remain, but should be removed in the coming weeks.

The most distinctive design element is the colorful mural adorning the entirety of the blank eastern elevation.

It’s an interesting design that complements the neighborhood. I’m not so thrilled about the mural.
Would be an A+ if it weren’t for the parking garage.
What the heck is wrong with a parking garage?
It’s decent. I like the depth of the facade. The mural is very uninspiring, though.
Maybe it might get repainted sometime down the road
