8:00 am on April 4, 2019 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Twelve years after its initial proposal, Star Tower at 27-17 42nd Road in Long Island City is finally approaching completion.

Today, the building gets lost amid the newly emerged constellation of high-rises, yet a series of design transformations have produced a final product far superior to the original.

Façade in Progress at Recently Topped-Out, Nine-Story Dutch LIC at 25-19 43rd Avenue, Long Island City

The nine-story Dutch LIC at 25-19 43rd Avenue has been topped out within the past month and is starting to receive exterior cladding, as red brick climbs along its eastern façade.

The design by GF55 Partners appears conventional from many angles. The building is notable for its sharp-angled south corner, anchored by a heavy steel truss at the base. Both of the striking features were conceived as responses to a challenging site. The project is built by Ekstein Development, with EFT Skyline Construction LLC serving as the general contractor.
