Construction is quickly rising on 30-25 Queens Boulevard, a 46-story residential skyscraper in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by CetraRuddy Architecture and developed by Baron Property Group and LargaVista, the 525-foot-tall structure will span around 511,000 square feet and yield 561 units, including 169 designated for affordable housing. The project will also include 21,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The property is alternately addressed as both 29-00 Northern Boulevard and 29-10 Queens Boulevard, and is located at the corner of Queens Plaza East and Queens Boulevard, directly west of the Sunnyside Yards rail tracks.
The reinforced concrete superstructure has ascended to around the one-quarter mark since our last update in June, when construction had just begun to rise above street level. Work will likely speed up in the coming weeks once the building passes the midpoint setback, and topping out could potentially occur sometime this winter. Façade installation has yet to begin.

The property was once occupied by an open-air parking lot, a gas station, a low-rise commercial structure, and a vacant lot at 29-00 Northern Boulevard. 30-25 Queens Boulevard sits directly adjacent to the entrance to the Queens Plaza subway station, served by the E, M, and R trains. The 7, R, and W trains are also accessible across Queens Boulevard East.
Baron Property Group and LargaVista Companies are completing the project with $388.5 million in construction financing backed by Starwood Capital Group, Gotham Organization, and Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies. The deal was facilitated by HKS Real Estate Advisors and DIA Capital Group.
30-25 Queens Boulevard’s anticipated completion date is slated for 2028, as noted on site.
