Another hotel for Dutch Kills!

A Queens family bought a two-story building on a 10,000-square-foot corner lot in Long Island City for $3.8 million, according to the broker on the sale, and plans to build a 60-room hotel at the site.

The 14,375-square-foot building at 32-47 Queens Boulevard at 33rd Street was occupied by scaffold supply company Scaffolding Solutions, which vacated the property a day before the October 7 closing, said Stephen Preuss, a director of sales in the Queens office of Massey Knakal Realty Services, who brokered the deal.


Sixty-room hotel planned for LIC

The site is east of Queens Plaza, which is nearby the future home of two boutique hotels and a budget hotel. Two blocks west of the Chen site, Sam Chang opened a Days Inn at 31-36 Queens Boulevard last year.

Actually this is a great underutilized and valuable site. The location with the 33rd Street #7 line and the Q60 bus stop is great for tourists and Buisness folks too.

This whole area could be a great buisness district but it does not have the cachet appeal that destroying a neighborhood like Willets Point has that Bloomberg loves to raze.

sure, with a sucky infrastructure. astoria's base, like its leadership, is on its last legs.

i understand that the grid is about to go again with all this new demand.

you would have to be a jerk to invest any money there.

I'm glad the hookers will have someplace to keep out of the rain.

You should see George (Mr Upzone!Upzone!Upzone!) S spread his magic throughout the community: Dutch Kills, Steinway Street, the community board.

The more massive the better.

That guy is a walking disaster.

This site is not Astoria but rather a couple blocks from LaGuardia College and right on Queens Blvd - the 33rd street stop on the #7. It beats the condos going up a mile away - this area is all office/warehouses.
