Construction is finishing up on 5-22 49th Avenue, a five-story residential building in the Hunters Point section of Long Island City, Queens. Designed by Issac & Stern Architects and developed by Amir Zicherman of Oren & Ivy LLC, the 50-foot-tall structure spans 9,984 square feet and will yield 15 rental units with an average scope of 665 square feet, as well as a 30-foot-long rear yard and six enclosed parking spaces. The property is located on a rectangular interior lot between Vernon Boulevard to the east and 5th Street to the west.
Recent photographs show the finished appearance of the building, which is largely clad in white brick surrounding recessed windows with black frames and mullions. The first story is enclosed in wooden paneling and features a garage door for the on-site parking component. Corner cutouts on the fifth and final floor are topped with outdoor terraces. The main entrance is located along the eastern corner.

I am in SSDI income any availability?
what’s with the weird tilt in windows…..makes blinds impossible. Double hung windows worked fine for a long long time and would have worked here also…..nice building otherwise.
Double hung windows aren’t as energy efficient, they’re harder to get a good seal with
I never thought white EIFS panels could be this beautiful: Thanks.
Those are European-style windows.
