The mid-rise interior of Long Island City’s skyscraper district at Queens Plaza/Court Square is about to get another addition in the form of a six-story, eight-unit building at 42-43 27th Street. The builder, New York Fast General Construction, lives up to their name as construction is moving at a rapid pace. When we last checked in at the beginning of March, excavation was only starting. Now, a month and a half later, more than half of the foundation walls in the basement are complete, with metal rebar ready for assembly of the ground floor.

Schematic Drawings Posted of Four-Story, Three-Unit Residential Project At 10-27 47th Road, Long Island City

3:00 pm on April 27, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in February, YIMBY reported on applications for a four-story, three-unit residential building at 10-27 47th Road, in the Hunters Point section of Long Island City. The site’s two-story predecessor has since been demolished, and schematic drawings have been posted on-site, The Court Square Blog reports. All of the apartments in the 5,000-square-foot project will be duplexes, averaging a spacious 1,667 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. The structure, as seen in the drawings, will be topped by a roof terrace. Ascent Development is behind the project, while Hudson Square-based Jorge Mastropieto Atelier is the architect. Excavation has not yet begun, but completion is expected in January of 2017.

Brooklyn-based Hengchang Property has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential building at 670 47th Street, in Sunset Park, located five blocks from the 45th Street stop on the R train. The structure will measure 9,075 square feet, and its residential units should average 890 square feet apiece. That means either rental apartments or condominiums. Shi Ming Tam’s Borough Park-based SM Tan Architect is the architect of record. The 45-foot-wide site is currently partially occupied by a two-story brick rowhome, and was subdivided into two tax lots in January to accommodate the new building.
