Construction is rising above street level on 40-09 29th Street, a five-story mixed-use building in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by Design Group In H&K LLC and developed by Gang W. Realty, the 66-foot-tall structure will span 27,850 square feet and yield 20 units spread across 14,950 square feet, as well as 5,655 square feet of ground-floor retail space, a 7,244-square-foot cellar level, and 4,775 square feet of enclosed parking space for 13 vehicles. World Hub Construction is the general contractor for the property, which is located between 40th Avenue and 40th Road.
Recent photos show the steel-framed superstructure rising from the 7,505-square-foot plot, which was formerly occupied by a Korean church. Crews have reached the second floor, and based on the modest scale of the project, construction should top out by the middle of the year.

The main rendering shows a dark brick façade framing a staggered grid of floor-to-ceiling windows and nine balconies overlooking 29th Street. A setback lined with a glass railing for a rooftop terrace is positioned above the fourth story. The parking garage entrance is located on the southern end of the first level, while the main doors are on the opposite northern corner between two retail frontages.
The N and W trains are a short walk to the east at the 39th Avenue station. Also nearby is the Queensboro Plaza station, servicing the N, W, and 7 trains.
40-09 29th Street has an anticipated completion date for this fall, though sometime early next year is more likely.
