Developers Acquire Mixed-Use Development Site At 42-50 24th Street, Long Island City

Property Markets Group and the Hakim Organization have purchased the roughly 34,000 square-foot property at 42-50 24th Street, in the Queens Plaza section of Long Island City, for $69 million. The site boasts approximately 270,000 square feet of development rights that could go towards a mixed-use project. The property is currently occupied by a taxi company and their old single-story building, although plans for the future have not been disclosed, per The Real Deal. The same developers recently topped out their 44-story, 391-unit mixed-use project a block to the north at 23-10 Queens Plaza South.


210 Livingston Street

Reveal For 25-Story, 368-Unit Mixed-Use Building At 210 Livingston Street, Downtown Brooklyn

Back in 2014, YIMBY reported on applications for a 25-story, 368-unit mixed-use building at 210 Livingston Street, in Downtown Brooklyn, and then this past October, developers Benenson Capital Partners and Rose Associates were working to land $158 million in construction loans. Real Estate Weekly reports the loan has closed, and in addition, has revealed the rendering for the project, which is being designed by Handel Architects. Seventy-four of the apartment units will be rented below market-rate, and nearly 20,000 square feet of retail space is planned on the ground and cellar levels. An 11-story office building was demolished back in 2014, and now that construction is imminent, completion is expected in late 2017.

Earlier this year, construction wrapped up on the first phase of Long Island City’s Hunters Point South mega-development, which includes two residential towers with a total of 925 affordable units, plus a 1,100-seat school and a waterfront park.

The second phase will include, but is not limited to, a 1,193-unit mixed-income residential building, which is to be developed by TF Cornerstone and Selfhelp Community Services. Thousands of additional residential units are also in the works, along with retail and community space.
