The last time we checked in on the former site of LIC Auto Repair on 44-12 Purves Street a/k/a 27-19 44th Drive, excavation work had just started.1 When we checked in over the weekend, we saw that foundation work is underway, as seen in the photo below. Signage on site says the project will be called “The Watermark” with an anticipated delivery date of summer of 2017.
According to permits filed in October 2014 first spotted by New York YIMBY,2 a 27-story building with 168 units (122,790 square feet) and a commercial space of 2,807 square feet will begin to rise soon.3
