Property owner Kevin Yang, doing business as an anonymous Whitestone-based LLC, has filed applications for a six-story, 12-unit residential building at 140-20 Cherry Avenue, located on the southern end of downtown Flushing. It will measure 9,281 square feet and its residential units should average 700 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. Amenities include laundry facilities, six off-street parking spaces, and a rooftop terrace. There will also be doctor’s offices in the cellar. Chang Hwa Tan’s Flushing-based Tan Architect is the architect of record. The 28-foot-wide, 2,800-square-foot property is currently occupied by a two-story house. Demolition permits were filed back in late 2014. The Flushing-Main Street stop on the 7 train (the line’s eastern terminus) is nine blocks to the north.
