Another Contender for Queens’ Tallest Skyscraper Revealed at 42-50 24th Street, Long Island City

8:00 am on July 23, 2018 By Andrew Nelson

Renderings are out for a 74-story tower at 42-50 24th Street, in downtown Long Island City, Queens. If built, the structure would be a major addition to the borough’s vertical profile, with a speculative minimum height of 750 feet, based on double-height retail at the base. If it ends up being any higher, the structure would become the tallest structure in Queens. Its current competitor is 23-15 44th Drive, a condominium tower expected to rise 752 feet, and is located three blocks to the south. The tallest proposed building for the borough was formerly 29-37 41^st Avenue, though developer Durst downsized the project to just 710 feet.
