Governor Kathy Hochul has announced the opening of Maspeth Park, a $17.8 million project in Queens. This new facility is the first of its kind in the western part of Maspeth, located near the Kosciuszko Bridge at the intersection of 43rd Street and 54th Road. It is accessible from both the Sunnyside and West Maspeth neighborhoods.
Permits have been filed for a three-story mixed-use building at 60-33 Eliot Avenue in Maspeth, Queens. Located at the intersection of 60th Place and Eliot Avenue, the corner lot is closest to the Metropolitan Avenue subway station, serviced by the M train. Claire Reid is listed as the owner behind the applications.
Permits have been filed for a three-story community facility building at 73-25 57th Avenue in Maspeth, Queens. Located between 73rd Place and 74th Street, the lot is closest to the Woodhaven Boulevard subway station, serviced by the E, M, and R trains. Anthony Cardinale of New York Insulation, Inc. is listed as the owner behind the applications.
LBA Logistics and RXR Realty have big plans for a 770,000-square foot, multistory logistics center in Maspeth, Queens. A 71,000-square-foot single-story warehouse with 6.5 acres of fleet parking and storage is currently extant at 56-19 Grand Avenue. The new structure will feature 21-foot ceiling heights and nine interior dock positions, and can accommodate a variety of vehicles and equipment. It is already available for lease, with occupancy starting in the second quarter of 2019.
A new developer, doing business as an anonymous Elmhurst-based LLC, is taking over the eight-unit residential development planned at 48-31 through 48-37 65th Street, located in the northern end of Maspeth. New building applications were also filed for four two-story, two-unit residential buildings, closely resembling filings submitted in 2015 by the previous developer. The latest plans call for each two-family building to measure 2,892 square feet. Across all four, the apartments should average 900 square feet apiece. Chang Hwa Tan’s Flushing-based architecture firm is the architect of record. The 8,008-square-foot property is vacant.
