New condo to go up near MoMA PS1

11-51 47th

Rendering (11-51 47th)

April 7, 2014 By Christian Murray

The development of Hunters Point continues, with reports that a new condo building is going up adjacent to MoMA PS1, at 11-51 47th Avenue.

The property, based on its rendering, will be a 54-unit condo, according to New York YIMBY. The development will be 70,000 square feet and designed by Fogarty Finger.

Fogarty Finger designed Five27, the 27-unit condo located at 5-27 51st Avenue, which sold out last month.

The news of this project comes a day after Community Board 2 gave its blessing to a developer who seeks a zoning change at 11-55 49th Avenue.

The new zoning would allow Maddd Equities, the developer, to construct a 12 story, 140 unit rental building (28 to be affordable) on that site.

However, the application for a zoning change still needs to go before the Queens Borough President, the City Planning Commission and the City Council.

According to reports, this is significantly higher (148%) than the national average and has increased by 7% since December 2023.

Borough President recommends approval of OneLIC Neighborhood Plan with conditions

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards announced on Monday a long list of recommendations to approve the city’s OneLIC Neighborhood Plan with conditions.

The sweeping proposal entered the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) in April, following certification by the City Planning Commission, and aims to transform a large portion of Long Island City with new zoning rules that would create nearly 14,700 housing units—including 4,300 affordable homes—alongside 14,400 jobs, over 3.5 million square feet of commercial and industrial space and expanded access to the East River waterfront.
