Site Cleared and Zoning Approved for 731-Foot-Tall Skyscraper Planned For LIC's Court Square
April 13, 2017

Of all the city’s growing neighborhoods, the changes taking place in Long Island City appear to be the most dramatic. Rising from its once sleepy manufacturing blocks are dozens of slick residential towers-- resulting in a pop-up skyline that seemingly grows larger by the day.

Within the neighborhood’s Court Square district, the commercial real estate firm of Stawski Partners is readying to build an immense 921-unit rental tower at 43-30 24th Street. The 66-story tower will be in contention for the tallest building in Queens if it finishes prior to the proposed Court Square City View Tower next door. Recently-approved permits indicate the tower will rise 731 feet, nearly 75-feet higher than boroughs’ current tallest building, One Court Square.
