Project: Urban Yard

A 400,000-square-foot commercial redevelopment project in Long Island City has begun its first phase of renovations.

The massive development called ‘Urban Yard’ will encompass five former warehouse buildings, which will be renovated and connected to create new office and retail space between 21st Street and 22nd Street along 40th Avenue. The five buildings will surround an outside courtyard.

The first phase of renovations will be an 87,000-square-foot office building at 40-09 21st St. across from the Queensbridge Houses. The office building will feature oversized windows on three sides, 15,000-square-foot floor plates, a renovated lobby, tenant amenity center, large new elevators and outdoor landscaped areas with seating.

The office building is expected to be completed by summer 2020.
