Developers are planning a seven-story building in Dutch Kills that will put 42 residences on top of manufacturing space.

Plans were filed Friday with the Department of Buildings for construction at 37-29 33rd St., just above Sunnyside Yards.

Dutch Kills was rezoned in 2008 in order to permit growing residential development while coexisting with light manufacturing and commercial uses.

According to DOB documents, 20 parking spots are planned underground. Twelve more will sit on the first floor, sharing space with the manufacturing component as well as a residential lobby. A roof deck will cap the building.

Developer Saviour Sultana said the residences will be one- and two-bedrooms, but he has not decided whether they will be condos or rental apartments.

“Depends on how the market looks,” he commented, noting that some of his neighbors are also working on new projects.

Plans for a similar building to Sultana’s – seven stories with 46 residential units sitting over first-floor commercial and parking space – were filed in March around the corner at 37-12 34th St.

Sultana said he expects to start demolition in the next two months, and hopes for move-in to begin within two and a half years.

Silvercup Studios partners with local schools to foster next-generation filmmakers in Queens

Long before it was one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the nation, Long Island City was an industrial town along the polluted East River, where generations recall the only good smell emanated from the Gordon Baking Company producing the Silvercup brand of bread.

After it was shuttered in a bitter labor dispute in the mid-70s, nearby factory owner Harry Suna of Kew Gardens purchased the property at 42-25 21 St. in 1980, and his architect sons Stuart and Alan began drawing up the plans to repurpose the property into Silvercup Studios, which launched in 1983 and rapidly became one of New York City’s largest film and production facilities, with nearly a half million square feet of studio space and 19 sound stages.
