New construction has slowed down in eastern Bedford-Stuyvesant this year, but a few ambitious developers are heading out to less-established parts of the neighborhood despite uncertainty over the future of the 421-a tax break.

An anonymous Flushing-based LLC has filed applications for two four-story, seven-unit residential buildings at 49-08 and 49-10 111th Street, in Corona.

The 50-foot-wide, 5,000-square-foot assemblage consists of two- and three-story residential buildings. Demolition permits have not been filed. The 111th Street stop on the 7 train is nine blocks north.

A 15-story, 338-key hotel is quietly rising above street level at 148-18 Archer Avenue, in downtown Jamaica, and a rendering of the project has been spotted on the construction fence.

It will be home to a 224-key Courtyard Inn on the second through 10th floors and a 114-key Fairfield Inn and Suites on the 11th through 15th floors. Guest amenities will be located on the ground and cellar levels. An anonymous Flushing-based LLC is the developer and Raymond Chan’s Flushing-based firm is behind the architecture. Completion is slated for early 2019.
