Another large tower is about to go up near Queensboro Plaza.

Property Markets Group plans to build a 70-story tower, located at 29-37 41st Ave, according to documents filed with the Department of Buildings.

The structure, which would be 772 feet tall, would include 930 apartments and six commercial units on the ground floor. A corner parking lot would also be constructed with 100 spaces.

The property is located next to the clock tower building, which PMG also owns.

Preservationists are trying to get the clock tower landmarked and have been trying to rally support at community board meetings and elsewhere.

SLCE Architects will be designing the project, according to the application.

thank you LIc dude, i don’t get these people that always complain about everything and think that people that stick their necks out to invest need to do everything the way we want instead of the way they want with their own money or loan…

and WOW, citibank isnt going residential, it sold land near the building that is going to be used for residential buildings in the future since that area didn’t take hold as a corporate area

Thank goodness the Citi tower is not ALSO going residential – a small win, but a help nonetheless. Thanks for clarifying

I am sure these folks are not “sticking their necks out to invest” considering their investment will provide likely ludicrous returns, that said they should certainly take their surroundings into account, as an un-affordable tower often holds no residents, and therefore turns no profit…

(Point of Reference – the eyesore tower in midtown Manhattan that has sold 3 units)

Huh?!? How is it greedy? Should they buy this land for millions of dollars and put up a 2 story brownstone that no one could afford? And it’s right by the elevated subway line anyway…might as well use it in the maximum way allowed by law.

between this and the articles saying that the Citi building is going residential, no one will ever be able to board a rush hour train again!

On the upside, as more people are late for work, more people will lose their jobs and have to move somewhere else. Ok not really upside, but it’s hard to find the optimism these days.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
