We last checked in on 29-07 Queens Plaza North back in March when outside facade work was on the verge of wrapping up.1 Now that we’re in June, we stopped by again and saw that all windows have been installed, although the ground floor space still needs some work. It seems like the tower will be ready by the anticipated delivery date of October, 2015. The building will eventually be split into a residential component as well as a hotel Marriott Hotel component.
According to permits, the 31 story building will have 107,007 square feet of residential space and 72,281 square feet of commercial space for a FAR of 12.00.2
Wow, I had no idea there was a large residential component in this hotel. Seeing as they’re close to completion, I’m surprised there’s been no marketing of the units. Wouldn’t they need a variance to include residential? Should be very interesting to see how much they ask on a per sq ft basis and what the demand will be for hotel living.
Well its halfway of Nov ’15 and nothing is completed..
