Permits Filed for 23-15 43rd Avenue in Long Island City, Queens

Permits have been filed for a 39-story residential building at 23-15 43rd Avenue in Long Island City, Queens. Located between 23rd Street and 24th Street, the lot is two blocks from the Court Square-23rd Street subway station, served by the E, G, M, and 7 trains. William Xu of Grand Construction and Development is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 446-foot-tall development will yield 268,204 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 387 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 693 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and 66 enclosed parking spaces.

Handel Architects is listed as the architect of record.

Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

I'm a little confused by this lot. Is this tower also going on the same lot in the dark grey area in the above schematic?

It's possible, or it's possible that they are one and the same. I can't pull up anything for either. However, these ae the known addresses...


Alternate Addresses:

24 STREET 42-50 - 42-50

24 STREET 42-54 - 42-54

Vera breaks ground in Long Island City, Queens
Handel Architects

The development will add hundreds of new homes to the rapidly growing neighborhood.

This month, we were thrilled to join our client United Construction and Development Group for the groundbreaking ceremony for Vera, one of our new projects in Long Island City. Vera is the first of two buildings planned for the site and will feature over 500 condominium units, while the second building will provide nearly 100 affordable housing units. Excavation and foundation work for Vera are expected to continue through late winter, with construction of the building’s podium scheduled to begin in spring 2027. Congratulations to our client and to everyone involved in this exciting project!

Looks better than the usual LIC stuff.

Not much, but that's a low bar. It's still just a flat box with some pretty lighting in the rendering. This is a condo building, so it should have a nicer facade.

I am still a little confused about how they are going to use this lot. The articles I read and this rendering suggest that "Vera" (side note: is LIC the only neighborhood where every building is a 4-letter word?) will take up the western half of the lot. I wonder what they plan on doing with the eastern half.

That's where "Arev" will go.
