An Astoria-based property owner has filed applications for a three-story, eight-unit residential building at 25-82 43rd Street, on the eastern end of Astoria. The project will measure 8,160 square feet and its residential units should average 765 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. Amenities will include eight off-street parking spaces and laundry facilities. Anthony Cucich’s Astoria-based firm is the applicant of record. The 50-foot-wide, 5,115-square-foot property is occupied by a three-story townhouse. Demolition permits have not been filed. The site is 11 blocks from the 30th Avenue stop on the N and Q train.

Awosika’s Jamaica-based architecture firm is the architect of record. Both 20-foot-wide, 2,000-square-foot lots, which are separated by three other lots, are currently vacant.

Foundation work appears to be complete where a 22-story, 252-unit mixed-use building is under development at 416 Kent Avenue, in Williamsburg near the East River. The site can be seen thanks to photos posted to the YIMBY Forums. The tower will be connected by a common base with two other 22-story residential towers, located next door at 420 Kent Avenue. That site was cleared of commercial low-rises earlier this year.
