11-39 49th Avenue reaches midway point

We were walking by 11-39 49th Avenue last week and noticed that construction has reached the halfway point for Criterion Group’s 12-story rental project. The building permit calls for 131,342 square feet of residential space and 512 square feet of commercial space for a FAR of 4.97. It is a 12-story build that will house 194 units.¹ Here’s more information on the building from City Realty.²

The tower will encompass a sizeable 131,854 square feet and will host 194 apartments, with twenty percent reserved as affordable housing. The broader floors, levels 2-9 have 21 apartments per floor but as the building ascends, the unit count begins to decrease to roughly 11 per floor. The ground level will contain an indoor recreation space, the residential lobby and a bike room.
