Permits have been filed for a seven-story residential building at 29-16 12th Street in Astoria, Queens. Located between 29th Avenue and 30th Avenue, the corner lot is also addressed as 8-48 Astoria Boulevard. The closest public transit is 30th Avenue subway station, served by the N and W trains. Oleg Krasnitskiy is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 75-foot-tall development will yield 16,230 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 24 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 676 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar but no accessory parking.
Joseph Spector of Dome Architecture, Design & Engineering is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

I hate blowing my own horn but as a fairly famous, some might say infamous authority on architectural stability, nothing beats this currently vacant lot as a prime, though not very useful example of prime, historically prime and even prehistorically prime architectural stability even though those prehistoric folks probably never considered the concept since they were pretty busy getting awayfrom saber tooth tigers and those mega sharks that you see on the discovery channel during shark week but here on this vacant lot in Astoria you are within a very walkable distance of both Costco and the subway so that sure beats many other ongoing and offgoing projects that are in progress or planned for this beautiful neighborhood that I believe is sometimes referred to as old Astoria even though I can’t yet comment upon the architecture I think they chose a good one who understands the underlying foundations (get it?) of the principles of the art of architecture and realized that 600 to 700 square feet is plenty of space for a modern, though not necessarily prehistoric family and I can’t wait for nyyimby to give us updates regarding the quick progress of growing more much needed housing in this neighborhood.
Are you alive
I’m not sure of your question and why you would state it in such a way without any expository information because how could someone, myself included type out thoughtful and hopefully helpful information if I were not alive as I’d either be in a dark casket or possibly incinerated depending on my choice which I haven’t made yet but I guess it is something that we will all have to consider when the time comes but in any case and if you haven’t noticed by now I am quite alive and as you might also have noticed am a pretty well respected kind of person whose opinions most people respect and come to for opinions on architecture, history and even as I referred to in my original post, pre-history so have a nice day and I hope you don’t mind my commenting about my concern of your lack of a question mark at the end of your query
