45-30 Pearson Street’s Façade Continues to Take Shape in Long Island City, Queens

Façade installation is shaping up on 45-30 Pearson Street, a 21-story residential building in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by Marvel Architects and developed by ZD Jasper Realty and Ascent Development, the 229-foot-tall structure will yield 62,000 square feet with 82 residential units averaging 750 square feet, as well as ground-floor retail space and 34 parking spaces. Tom Wu under Davis Street Development LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications, Modern Spaces is marketing the homes, and King Contracting Group is in charge of brickwork and the roofing for the property, which is located off Jackson Avenue between Pearson Street and Davis Street.

Since our last update in February, the remaining floor-to-ceiling windows have been put in place and the light-colored brick façade has continued to climb up the superstructure. The construction elevator has also been dismantled from the center of the northeastern elevation.

The southwestern profile along Davis Street is largely done with the exception of the ground floor and the top levels, with the corner terraces and balconies awaiting glass railings.

Glass railings should be installed on the vertical stacks of balconies facing Pearson Street in the coming months.
