A vacant lot stuffed beside a ramp for the Queensboro Bridge will give rise to an eight-story, 21-unit building designed by Aufgang Architects. The Board of Standards and Appeals approved a variance for the site, located at 321 East 60th Street, last year, allowing the building to be 24,000 square feet.
A dream location!

It's ideal for the demographic that this city and developers only care about. It will literally be a skinny jeans building. And being near a ramp will bolster the luxury slumming aspect of it.
I don't mean to correct you QC, but this is in manhattan. Unless they are using LIC to market it.
Fixed, thanks!
I can see the advertisement now: Cozy! Strategically located! Close to transportation!
I wouldn't park my car in that lot, with all the debris from the ramp, let alone live there!
There used to be a church in that location. I remember watching them tear it down in the late 90s.
Wonder if the developers will fallow appropriate design standards, i.e. noise mitigators?
Will they have a ramp to the highway? Maybe it will be the batcave.
Then the moron who moves in will complain about the noise from constant traffic and complain that the city isn't addressing their concerns.
Heil, Aufgang! Who the fuck would be dumb enough to want to inhale all those toxic exhaust emissions? Pardon me, this is Queens...the destination of foreigners who will buy a pig in a poke just to say they have arrived in New York City. Hmmmm, seems to me this is the borough of desperation. I cannot afford Manhattan...Brooklyn is out of my price range...and the Bronx? Well too far with uppity minorities. Maybe a buyer can get a bridge loan instead of a mortgage, ya think?
Why not live in your SUV and feed the parking meters?
