It’s hard to imagine that it’s been nearly four months since we’ve stopped by Tishman Speyer’s Long Island City project at 28-34 Jackson Avenue, 28-10 Jackson Avenue and 30-02 Queens Boulevard sites, but construction crews have been working diligently since then.1 As you can see in the photos below, crews have mostly finished the excavation stage and have already started to lay the foundation. By 2018, there will be three large residential builds with ground floor retail.2
Here are more details of the project from Queens Brownstoner:3
The project includes three towers: 28-34 Jackson Avenue, holding 658 units and 6,000 square feet of retail space, 28-10 Jackson Avenue, with 683 units and 3,000 square feet of retail space, and 30-02 Queens Boulevard, with 448 apartments and 6,500 square feet of retail. (1,789 apartments and 1.2 million square feet of new development in total!)
