A new rendering has been revealed for 42-73 Hunter Street, a forthcoming 12-story residential building in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by Angelo Ng + Anthony Ng Architects Studio and developed by Kean Chen, PC, the 120-foot-tall structure will span 25,000 square feet and yield 37 units. The project will also include a seven-vehicle parking garage. The 50-foot-wide property is located between 42nd Road and 43rd Avenue.
The rendering previews a rectangular massing culminating in a series of stepped setbacks on the final two stories. The façade is shown composed of dark gray metal paneling surrounding a grid of floor-to-ceiling ribbon windows. A stack of angled balconies will line the southern end of the main elevation, and the northern lot line wall will be left windowless in anticipation of a forthcoming abutting development. A double-height entrance will be positioned near the center of the building.
Demolition is already complete at the site, which was formerly occupied by a row of low-rise commercial structures. Kean Chen, PC acquired the property in January for $10.2 million. Cole Kinney Leonhardt of Brax Realty represented both the buyer and the seller in the transaction.

A construction timeline for 42-73 Hunter Street has yet to be announced.
