Permits have been filed for an eight-story mixed-use building at 92-54 Queens Boulevard in Rego Park, Queens. Located between Eliot Avenue and 62nd Avenue, the interior lot is near the Woodhaven Boulevard subway station, serviced by the M and R trains.

The proposed 80-foot-tall development will yield 41,668 square feet, with 25,910 square feet designated for residential space, 2,884 square feet for commercial space, and 2,013 square feet for community facility space. The building will have 35 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 740 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, a 30-foot-long rear yard, and 11 enclosed parking spaces.
Fran Huang of HPL Engineering is listed as the architect of record.

Thank you: I get a sense of just how well, with its mixed-use.
Given the excellent subway access, this part of Queens has so much opportunity for new, denser housing.
Agreed. It may take 40 years but I think you’ll eventually see QB resemble the Grand Concourse much more than it does now. Not with height uniformity but with density.
So much of QB is lined with one story commercial, and while SOME of it is charming, the vast majority is not lamentable if replaced with higher density multi-story that is suited to a thoroughfare of this caliber.
I am interested in applying for an apartment.
This is messed up for the building next to it because people will lose bedroom light windows and kitchen.
