LIC Clock Tower project at 29-37 41st Avenue begins to rise

We were walking by 29-37 41st Avenue a/k/a 29-23 Queens Plaza North last week when we saw that the mega construction project is started to rise. We saw rebar sprouting from the ground, as seen in the photo below. The project is set to rise next to the historic Long Island City Clock Tower.

Here’s more information about the project from The Real Deal:¹

Queens Plaza Park, located at 29-37 41st Avenue near the landmarked Long Island City Clock Tower, will be a 978,000-square-foot mixed-use tower. It will have 958 residential units, 300 of which will be affordable. Handel Architects is designing the project — its latest renderings reveal a concave, glassy exterior — and Selldorf Architects is designing its interior, lobby and amenities.
