A large Long Island City warehouse building will soon be torn down by a prolific neighborhood developer, according to city records.
Developer Chris Jiashu Xu filed plans Wednesday to tear down the five-story building at 42-53 24th St. — a 76,000-square-foot structure near Queens Plaza that dates to the 1920s.
Xu’s company paid $40.1 million in January to acquire the warehouse and an adjacent parking lot, city records show.

His ultimate plans for the site are unclear, but Xu is no stranger to the neighborhood’s real estate market — he is the developer behind Skyline Tower, a 778-foot skyscraper near Court Square that wrapped up construction last summer as Queens’s tallest building. (Though it may later be surpassed by an 800-foot tower a few blocks away on Orchard Street.)
