Something big is going up on the site of the shuttered Flushing Mall. Rumors of the mall's demise have been swirling since way back in 2011, but the foodie haven finally closed its doors this year and, it seems, will be razed to make room for a new development. YIMBY spotted plans for a 13-story, 192-apartment building with cellar-floor retail space near the site, and believes they're connected to the Two Fulton Square development. The new plans were filed by One Fulton Square developer F & T Group for the site bounded by College Point Boulevard, 37th Avenue, Prince Street, and 39th Avenue.
I seem to recall that the plan for this site was for it to be replacement parking for Municipal Lot 1 while construction was taking place, which will take years. So why are we seeing building plans for this site now?

The bouandaries of this site don't seem to be the same location as the flushing mall discussed in the linked article.
Oops, I mismapped it.
To be sure...CB7 will rubber stamp anything that Wellington Chen's friends at F&T wants to build here with a resounding, "YES"! You can also be sure that "follow the buck" Chuck Apelian has gotten a printing cont racy out of it for his Prestone printing firm. It is time to chuck Chuck. He is what is wrong with downtown Flushing.
Another Chinese dump...an outdated looking piece of crapitecture out of the 1960s. I thought that Soviet building was severe. Chi-com party designs are worse. NewYork is going communist anyway with our greasy ultra liberal mayor. Premier De Blasio, are you following this?
More ridership on the aver crowded #7 line. How many Chinese can you squeeze into one sardine can? As many as the Democratic machine party packers can force in.
Just what we need. More housing in the downtown Flushing neighborhood. Brilliant!!! Does every inch of space need to be developed? Will this interfere with the LaGuardia airspace. Inquiring minds want to know!
PS The Flushing #7 line isn't crowded enough.
Damn greedy Republicans and their total disregard for the middle and lower middle class working joe. That 7 train Main Street stop is a nightmare. Flushing cannot take on more housing especially crappy death traps that a certain group love throwing up.
Yeah, it's those wascally
wepubwicans again.
There are soooooo many of them in Queens.
Where did all those trees and blades of grass come from? Never seen that in downtown Flushing. This whole image is bad fiction.
Isn't this an F&T, Fultonex, TDC Rockefeller owned site? Aren't they pals of the elusive Wellington Chen, who's now an LPC commissioner?
Of course CB7 will go for the overdevelopment.
Chuck Apelian might score some $$$$$$$ for it.
Just follow the buck Chuck. Dump that shady rug head!
What's with all the curvy shapes....a new school of Oriental fart-chitectorial design?
