Permits have been filed for a 15-story mixed-use building at 44-61 21st Street in Long Island City, Queens. Located at the corner of 44th Drive, the lot is one block from the Court Square–23rd Street station, served by the 7, E, and F trains. Zev Mayer of Walton Developers is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 165-foot-tall development will yield 108,308 square feet, with 79,778 square feet designated for residential space and 28,530 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 94 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 848 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and four enclosed parking spaces.
Kao Hwa Lee Architects is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed last month for the one-story building on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Great access to all the subway lines from there
Wow, the loss of a fine super duper market that has served this rather unserved but not undeserved community for a generation or even more, i don’t particularly know exactly how long but i’d say a very long time serving the people who lived in this specific sub neighborhood for years and years before the very nice but quite expensive towers took over which I have no problem with because many of these towers are quite nice and most importantly, some might even say critically important is their display of excellent architectural stability which enhances any neighborhood but in particular this sub neighborhood that also has many low rise, low slung structures which form a fine baseline for the creation of towers, whether the towers have fine architectural stability or have lessened amounts of stability so i think the developers chose a fine location as long as they don’t dig underground too willy-nilly because there are train tracks underneath and messing with those tracks could cause a bunch of people to be late for work unless of course the people are doing the work from home thingy, but in conclusion i can only say that i have no firm or solid conclusion until we see the renderings or better-yet the actual architectural plans or even better yet we can hope to see the actual engineering plans to totally be assured of the architectural stability to be displayed and had by the new structure.
holy run on sentence batman
Thanks Spidey, I always learned from my elementary school onward to try to be concise and get all of your thoughts into one paragraph or better yet into one sentence and that is one of the credos that I live with and I have found that it has worked fantastically well for me in both good times and bad and whether discussing real estate or one of my other fields of expertise.
My good sir, have you ever heard of punctuation? The writing ability (or lack thereof) of Americans has become truly something dreadful.
Smittymcg, that is not how any amateur or acclaimed writer would ever write something out. I can’t believe you think that format of writing and lack of punctuation is considered okay to use in a public setting or online. Whatever elementary school you learned that from, I feel sorry for those who were taught that run on sentences are deemed acceptable.
Oh yay, another bug house. It’s probably going to be yet another of those projects that starts, then stops mysteriously for months, then starts again, then stops again. There’s one of those on that same block. The building has been in an almost-finished state for well over a year with no further progress being made. It just sits there empty.
