205-Unit Mixed-Use Conversion of Former Nine-Story Hospital Gains Approvals, 82-41 Parsons Boulevard, Jamaica Hills

2:00 pm on December 2, 2016 By Reid Wilson

A project that would redevelop the long-vacant, nine-story hospital building at 82-41 Parsons Boulevard, in Jamaica Hills, formerly known as the Triboro Hospital for Tuberculosis and presently called the “T Building,” is slowly moving through the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP). Dunn Development Corp. is proposing a 205-unit mixed-use conversion, where 130 of the apartments would rent at bel0w-market rates through the affordable housing lottery. The remaining 85 units would be set aside as supportive housing for homeless individuals. There would also be 12,000 square feet of space for the Queens Hospital Center, located nearby, and 8,000 square feet of community facility space, DNAinfo reported. The Health and Hospital Corporation’s Board of Directors has approved the project, as well as Community Board 8. The City Council, which almost always defers to the wishes of the local council member, has not yet voted on the project. The area is represented by Council Member Rory Lancman.

In April 2014 we interviewed developer Sam Charney of Charney Construction and Development. Among other things, he spoke about Long Island City’s 11-51 47th Avenue, now known as the Jackson. Since then, we have followed the building’s progress, starting when the site was cleared at the end of 2015 up until its recent topping-out. Today we revisit the project with Charney and the building’s architect, Chris Fogarty of Fogarty Finger.

Woodside-based Sanvito Realty Holding Corp. has filed applications for a seven-story, 19-unit mixed-use building at 25-28 Broadway, located in the heart of Astoria. The project will measure 19,415 square feet and rise 74 feet in height to its roof. It will feature 2,365 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, followed by a 10-car parking garage up to the second floor. The residential units, on floors three through seven, should average 704 square feet, indicative of rentals. Jamaica-based RCGA Architects is the architect of record. The 52-foot-wide, 5,277-square-foot site consists of two lots, one of which is occupied by a two-story office. The other is vacant. Demolition permits have not been filed for the existing structure.

Permits Filed for Eight-Story Hotel at 95-10 218th Street, Queens Village

7:00 am on December 1, 2016 By Rebecca Baird-Remba

Development rarely happens in eastern Queens near the Long Island border, but one developer has staked a claim in Queens Village, a suburban neighborhood next to Nassau County. New building applications were filed last week for an eight-story hotel at 95-10 218th Street, across the street from the Queens Village stop on the Long Island Rail Road. The building will practically touch the elevated rail tracks once it rises on a lot between Jamaica and 98th avenues. The plans call for 68 hotel rooms squeezed into 21,108 square feet of commercial space. An average room there would measure just over 300 square feet. The cellar would hold four rooms, and each of the upper floors would have eight rooms.
