Four-Story, Four-Unit Residential Building Planned at 32-82 37th Street, Astoria

Property owner Basil Kaludes has filed applications for a four-story, four-unit residential building at 32-82 37th Street, in southern Astoria, located three blocks from the Steinway Street stop on the M/R trains. The structure will measure 3,124 square feet, which means its full-floor residential units should average 781 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments.

At the time, a different developer planned to build a slightly smaller residential project, one with three units. Of course, those plans never came to fruition.
