Check out the new design planned for 29-26 Northern Boulevard, off of Queens Plaza North in Long Island City. New York IMBY picked up the images from the Stephens B. Jacobs Group website, which also reveal that the 45-story building will be called “The QE7.” It’ll hold studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom rental apartments. Here are details on the amenities, straight from the website:
Imagined as an urban vertical cruise ship, the building offers many amenities, including a two-story fitness center on the 2nd and 4th floors with lounge, gym, spa, climbing wall, pool, and outdoor 5v5 soccer pitch. A covered outdoor half-court basketball court is located on the 38th floor setback, and a rooftop bar and lounge is on the 43rd floor, with access to outdoor terrace space and unobstructed panoramic views.

Sounds like a great place. What's the problem?
Where do they locate the cemetery and crematorium?
they look like cigarette lighters,not the bics but the ones you get at jacks 99c store.
again,the stupid amenities(gym,views)to give the illusion of luxury to justify high rents.and where are the 20% affordable apts. jerks?
One, two and three bedroom rentals....starting rent price 3000/month for a one bedroom! Get them while they're hot you yuppies and filthy rich!
That neighborhood is a dive, and always will be.
Imagine the apartment directly beneath the basketball court...
George, the cemetery is on the 22nd floor.
Why is Jimmy Van Bramer permitting this - why is he taking our taxes that could go into hospitals and schools and sanitation?
Then he will bitch and bitch about a train system built for half the population.
asswipe.
A vertical cruise ship eh? Does the builder also claim it's "unsinkable" as too?

In a hurry?
Another big a** eye sore!
No one is going to live in a neighborhood with a noisy train on one side and a heavily polluted train yard on the other - all the apartments around the Plaza are being rented by corporations for their Asian workers in the tech industry - basically they are dorms one step above and not too far away from those hosing Chinese women in the toy and clothing industry.
This is not community revitalization but workforce dormitories that will be filled with dish washers and the like within a few decades as their cheap construction begins to show its age.
