Long Island City, it’s time to welcome one more tower to the neighborhood. New York YIMBY spotted permits at 27-21 44th Drive, in Court Square, for a 26-story, 145,000-square-foot residential building. Silvercup Studios — also gearing up to bring the Silvercup West mega development back to life — is developing this site. Silvercup purchased the land, which includes three adjoining lots, for $21,085,841 — it was asking $23,500,000. The architect of record is GF55 Partners, who have done lots of work in the neighborhood. No rendering yet, but here are more details from YIMBY: “The building will have a 6,780-square foot commercial component on the ground floor, and 105,562 square feet of net residential space will occupy the rest of the structure, divided among 115 apartments. That translates into an average unit size of just under 1,000 square feet.” 26-Story Building Coming to Court Square [New York YIMBY] Court Square Development… Read More
