The old Apex Tech Building has a very large footprint.
Less than 5000 square feet per floor in that space?
Looks like an interesting design for the podium of a new building. If LIC had its own style, this would be it.
Aww man this must suck for the people living in Hero LIC that’ll have their views looking towards Manhattan blocked in the future. Oh well, that’s New York for you
