The affordable housing lottery has launched for 32-18 Union Street, a four-story residential building in Flushing, Queens. Designed by Gerald J. Caliendo Architects and developed by Calvin Cheung, the structure yields eight residences.

Residences come with dishwashers, air conditioning, washers and dryers, intercoms, name-brand kitchen appliances, countertops, and finishes, and patios or balconies. Amenities include a rooftop terrace and security cameras.
At 130 percent of the AMI, there are three one-bedrooms with a monthly rent of $2,698 for incomes ranging from $92,503 to $165,230.
Prospective renters must meet income and household size requirements to apply for these apartments. Applications must be postmarked or submitted online no later than September 15, 2023.

This was a stalled construction project that had been dormant for years. I pass this site regularly and am glad to see it finally progressing. Another stalled project is on the site of the late RKO Keith Theater in Flushing. The landmarked lobby was to be incorporated into a new structure, but that has yet to be built. This sits enshrouded in waterproofing up on stilt-like foundations.
The building looks like garbage. There are 3 similar ones like this in Richmond Hill on Liberty Ave. Don’t know if it’s on the “housing connect lottery” but the city continues to build housing solely for upper class people that don’t exist in New York City during a housing crisis they seem willing to continue into infinity.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.
Love the artistic flourish just below roof
Horror
This falls under the category of
“Esthetically Nauseating”! 🤔🤮
Rent too high should be capped at 2150
Is this a Chinese architect thing? Sunset Park has a lot of buildings like this (which are replacing nice looking Renaissance Revival rowhomes)
I don’t know if its a Chinese thing any more than just a cheap bastard who doesn’t give a sh*t thing.
Notice that the through-the-wall AC openings have been bricked up. It is very unlikely the developer is anything other than Chinese in this area. There is an invisible Great Wall of China that runs roughly along Union St. This side of the street is Chinese, while to the east is the Korean area. The two groups tend to avoid each other.
This landlord clearly doesn’t give a s××t about his property. Complete eye soar! Can’t imagine what the inside decor looks like. This is something to be really proud of! NOT! It’s obvious why it’s still available,,,
The amount of racism in this comment section is appalling and I think the people running New York YIMBY need to do a better job of moderating because this is actually disgusting. Bad architecture has nothing to do with race or ethnicity.
Oh shut up!! Learn the difference between racism and prejudice, they’re not the same thing. Get past the comments and look at the problem with the building. Stop looking for drama.
If Russian developers in Brighton Beach were all putting gold onion domes on top of their new apartment building projects would mocking it or conplaining about it make one a “racist”?
Quit being so over sensitive.
I would love to live in this building I need some space for me and my husband
This building should be demolished.
