From Sunnyside Post:
Builders have broken ground on a 9-story residential development in Sunnyside.
The development, located on 43rd Street between 43rd and Skillman Avenues, will consist of 38 rental units and 17 parking spaces. The apartments will all be one or two bedrooms, with prices expected to fetch about $1,600 for a one bedroom and $1,800 for a two bedroom.
The initial plan was for a six story building, but the developer revised his plan. The developer, Hooshang Nemat, said he decided to reduce the size of the building’s footprint and build higher.
At 9 stories, the development will be much taller than other buildings on the street. Most are 6 stories.

I guess the only good thing is that the rendering of the building does not look like your typical low class third world shit, but I guess that can change at anytime.
Seems like Jimmy Van Bramer's new rezoning of Sunnyside is like Vallone's rezoning of Astoria.
Both communities are 'saved' ..... um ... for developers!
Maybe our ambitious friend Jimmy will run for borough president too!
Hipsters need a place to live too, you know, as well as section 8 families.
Face facts.
When it comes to Sunnyside's high density zoning, this appears to be an underutilized site.
In LIC, this building could be 40 stories tall.
Which begs the question who in Sunnyside wants 'high density' zoning and under your definition the White House or Congress sits on space 'underutilized.'

The buildings are put up for one purpose - to make money for the owners.
I am looking forward to seeing all those hotels in LIC in a few decades - hotels need refreshing constantly and I seriously doubt that is in anyone's plans.
So when did you ever see 38 units replaced by four?
Those were lovely homes. A damn shame.
Isn't this located outside of the historic district?
Nobody gives a damn..so FUGHETTABOUTIT!
Call Councilman Jimmy's office and see what he's got to say. If the Stonewall gay rights riot plans had been hatched there, he'd would have made a case for preserving these homes.
This means more people crammed on the #7 train platform at the Sunnyside stations each morning...more crap flushed into overloaded sewer lines...more kids enrolled in overcrowded schools.
Get the picture? It sucks!

Ask Jimmy about it - make sure the cameras are rolling and let Crappy know his reaction.
What a life poor Jimmy has - his drawers get in a knot when the trust fund babies loose sleep next to a train yard, (while he looks the other way on a dozen blockbusters are planned next door), senior centers filled with people he grew up with are closing and half the community is wandering around unsupervised with neon green paint in their hands, and our native son expresses disbelief to the waterfront brats raising children next to a super-find site (read his concern is real only for their landlords) that the 7 train has work on weekends, it seems that he is heading down the same path as TeamGioia.
'Memba them?
Placating hipsters and gays are councilman Jimmy's main concerns.
LOL!
Now, doesn't "placating" sound like some kind of exotic sex practice?
I just love using these old school words.
