New Owners Plan Partial Office Conversion at Six-Story, 225,000-Square-Foot Industrial Property, 43-01 22nd Street, Long Island City

Back in May, Olmstead Properties and Newmark Holdings entered into contract to purchase the six-story, 225,000-square-foot manufacturing building at 43-01 22nd Street, located on the corners of 43rd and 44th avenues in the heart of Long Island City. The duo have now closed on the purchase for $61 million, Commercial Observer reported. They plan to convert the structure into office space, although roughly two-thirds of the property is currently leased to Reis Studios. The vacant portions are expected to be converted soon, but it’s not known when the currently leased space will get the conversion. Upgrades to the building will include a redesigned lobby, new windows and façade elements, and new mechanical infrastructure such as elevators.

Four-Story, 20-Unit Residential Building Re-Filed at 34-17 103rd Street, North Corona

Queens-based NTP Real Properties has filed new applications for a four-story, 20-unit residential building at 34-17 103rd Street, in North Corona. The filings come after initial documents submitted in 2014 were disapproved earlier this year. The newly proposed building would measure 23,341 square feet and its residential units should average 940 square feet apiece. There will be 13 off-street parking spaces located behind the building. George Huang’s Midtown-based GMH Architecture is the new architect of record, replacing Flushing-based Chien Han Architect.

The 103rd Street-Corona Plaza stop on the 7 train is located four blocks south.
