Yet another residential development is coming to the Court Square Section of Long Island City.

Rockrose Development bought the Eagle Electric Building at 43-22 Queens St. for $48 million last month—with plans to build a 700-unit rental tower.

The development represents Rockrose’s third in that section of LIC. Combined, the three buildings will have nearly 2,400 units.

Rockrose is planning to demolish some parts of the 6-story Eagle Electric building while adding a tower that might be as high as 30 stories.

Dana Frankel, the District Services Manager of the Long Island City Partnership said, “Rockrose Development Corp. does a great job bringing tenants into LIC, they understand the character of the community and its needs as the neighborhood grows.”

Rockrose is close to completing Linc LIC, a 709 unit rental tower at 43-10 Crescent St. It is in the planning stages of another rental tower a block away at 43-25 Hunter St. That will be 975 units.

Rockrose Development also owns a garage at Crescent St. and is currently developing a strip along Jackson Ave.

Paying $3500 for a 1 bedroom in a neighborhood that still doesn’t have decent restaurant and still no supermarket is way too much.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
