The project will include exclusively one-bedrooms, Jersey Digs reported, as well as a 46-car parking garage. The town’s Zoning Board of Adjustment approved the project back in October. The corner site is occupied by a three-story commercial building, which will presumably be demolished. A construction timeline has not been disclosed.

Permits Filed for Eight-Story Hotel at 95-10 218th Street, Queens Village

7:00 am on December 1, 2016 By Rebecca Baird-Remba

Development rarely happens in eastern Queens near the Long Island border, but one developer has staked a claim in Queens Village, a suburban neighborhood next to Nassau County. New building applications were filed last week for an eight-story hotel at 95-10 218th Street, across the street from the Queens Village stop on the Long Island Rail Road. The building will practically touch the elevated rail tracks once it rises on a lot between Jamaica and 98th avenues. The plans call for 68 hotel rooms squeezed into 21,108 square feet of commercial space. An average room there would measure just over 300 square feet. The cellar would hold four rooms, and each of the upper floors would have eight rooms.
