Two Three-Story, Three-Unit Residential Buildings Coming to 101-16 Lewis Avenue, Corona

Queens-based property owner Bin Yan, doing business as an anonymous LLC, has filed applications for two three-story, three-unit residential buildings at 101-16 – 101-18 Lewis Avenue, in Corona, located five blocks north of the Long Island Expressway. Each structure will measure just 3,600 square feet. Across both, the full-floor residential units should average 833 square feet apiece. The ground-floor of each structure will feature a single-car garage and laundry facilities will be located in the cellars. Thee Shiun Eric Ken’s Flushing-based company is the applicant of record. The project will rise on a 25-foot-wide, 2,500-square-foot lot on the corner of 102nd Street. Demolition permits were filed in March to remove the site’s single-story occupant.


10-44 Jackson Avenue

Six-Story, 10-Unit Mixed-Use Building Tops Out at 10-44 Jackson Avenue, Long Island City

Back in early 2013, new building applications were filed for a six-story, 10-unit mixed-use building at 10-44 Jackson Avenue, in the Hunters Point section of Long Island City. The site’s two-story predecessor was demolished in late 2014 and, now, construction on the project has topped out, according to the Court Square Blog. The project will measure 12,283 square feet and will feature 1,670 square feet of retail space across the ground and cellar levels. The units, which begin on the second floor, should average 686 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. It will be topped by an apartment that spans part of the sixth floor and an upper-level penthouse. Brooklyn-based property owner Tibi Zicherman is the developer, while Douglas Pulaski’s Bricolage Designs is the architect. Completion is expected later this year.

LaGuardia Airport

Development Team Closes on Deal with Port Authority to Rebuild LaGuardia Airport

Back in March, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ) officially approved plans to rebuild LaGuardia Airport, in East Elmhurst, in addition to incorporating a 24-hour ferry service and an AirTrain to help transport travelers. Now, LaGuardia Gateway Partners – comprised of Vantage Airport Group, Skanska, and Meridiam – has closed on a deal with the Port Authority to actually construct the project, and to operate the new 1.3-million-square-foot airport through 2050, according to Crain’s. Demolition is expected to begin within the next few months on the five-story parking garage in front of the Central Terminal building. The Central Terminal will be the first portion to be redeveloped and is expected to be complete by 2021, followed by Terminals C and D. The development team, which is putting up $1.8 billion of its own money, has already secured $2.5 billion in financing. The Port Authority is responsible for an additional $2.2 billion that will go towards infrastructure work.


Hunters Point South

Request for Proposals for Two Residential Portions of Hunters Point South Mega-Project, Long Island City

Back in February, we learned that the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) and the School Construction Authority (SCA) are planning a 600-student elementary school on block “F” of the Hunters Point South mixed-use, mixed-income mega-development, located in southwestern Long Island City. Now, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is preparing to launch a Request for Proposals (RFP) for two residential portions of the mega-project, one located on block “F” adjacent to the school, and the other on block “G,” Crain’s reported. Together, the two buildings are expected to include at least 750 residential units, of which 450 would rent at below-market rates. There would also be retail space and some form of community facility space. Proposals will be due in September, and a development team will be selected in early 2017.
