Back in April of 2014, YIMBY brought you news of Ciampa Organization’s planned 10-story residential building at 41-29 24th Street, in Long Island City’s Queens Plaza neighborhood. The building is dubbed Package Square West, and it appears to have been scaled down from its initial 150-foot-wide, 94,845 square-foot dimensions. The latest filings – which are also plagued with a slew of violations – call for 79 units (down from 126) spread across 67,059 square feet. That means units would average 849 square feet apiece. Foundation work began in late 2014, and today the project stands two stories above street level, The Court Square Blog reports. According to zoning diagrams, a 51-foot-wide piece of the site will be backfilled and made into a side yard. Fresh Meadows-based Fakler, Eliason & Porcelli is the architect of record.

In early 2015, YIMBY reported on applications for a 12-story, 87-unit residential building at 41-22 24th Street, in Long Island City’s Queens Plaza neighborhood, and we later brought you renderings of the project. Construction is well underway, The Court Square Blog reports, and the structure is currently seven stories above street level. When completed, the residential units will spread across 66,256 square feet of space, which means units will average a rental-sized 761 square feet apiece. MY Architect is designing the project and Lions Group is developing it. Completion is expected roughly a year from now.
