Developer Ai Yun Chen is planning to bring a mixed-use building to Corona that will feature 90 residential units and span just under 174,000 square feet.
The building would be located at 37-20 114th Street and be split between about 92,000 square feet of commercial space, 81,000 square feet of residential space and 600 square feet of community space. The project, designed by Angelo Ng and Anthony Ng Architects, would stand eight stories and 70 feet tall.

Well, maybe, just maybe if people and elected officials kept their communities nice, it would be much harder for the gentrification monster to make an appearance. Sure our asshole elected officials, lobbyist and sell outs are to blame, but let's place blame where it needs to go, the slobs who have destroyed once nice neighborhoods with their lack of respect for the community, their garbage, their bad behavior and actions.
Much harder to gentrify a neighborhood when it is well taken care of as opposed to places like Corona, Jamaica, Richmond Hill and all the many shitty places of Queens that have gone down the shitter.
The Chinese have been buying up Corona for quite some time.
All part of the plan...,drive out the "brown people". That real estate has become worth too much for "them" to occupy.
What other "minority" nabes in Queens are slated for gentrification next?
This is happening all around NYC!
Corona is getting great, all different bars, foods, places to see and things to do without paying the price of Ridgewood.
I love getting a lemon ice and flask of wine then go sit watch the old Italian men play bowling in the park. (Sometimes they have there own wine and share with you) Summer's you can get a tent for $30 a night, the guy has Wi-Fi, cooks you Chicken BBQ, tostones and fresh Sangria. (And if anybody is an asshole they get thrown out)

There is just so much wrong with this post I don't know where to start. I do want to know where you pitch the tent though.
Its great the Chinese & hipsters are coming to the rescue, I better buy a good f_cked up up house in Corona wile its cheap to restore it and live, SCREW Long Island and this $15,000+ school, county, police & town tax shit.
Can you believe the LIRR is near $30 round trip to Manhattan, now run down by the MTA, filthy with flat wheels near falling off. F-ck that too. I'm with Zoey, Corona is gonna be the next SoHo when that train connection is done.
Zoe, saw you on WNYT Globe Trekker in Queens with the dragon boats. Did you really fall and accidentally pee in the great pyramid ?
THE CHINESE ARE BUILDING BRICK BOXES WITH WINDOWS AND CHEAP FIRE ESCAPES ALL OVER CORONA.
TAKE A STROLL THRU 37TH AVE, 39TH AVE AND YOU WILL SEE EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN. THIS CHEAP CONSTRUCTION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING UP THE RENTS AND DESTROYING A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ONCE FEATURED REAL DECENT LOOKING HOMES AND NOT SOME SHIT DRAWN BY A FIVE YEAR OLD.
Glad it's happening. Property values have been going down for years because of the people that come here from other countries(mostly south america)and fuck up decent neighborhoods. Easter is this weekend right? Why do we already have tents going up in backyards to BBQ and play loud music??? Where on earth is this kind of behavior NORMAL??? It's not, but only in NYC right?) It's a holy holiday and these assholes will use any and every excuse to make racket outside(usually complete with drunk and disorderly behavior/public urination/kids and teens running wild on other people's properties and doing whatever the hell they want with no adult supervision)I am tired of feeling like I am in a Latin nightclub all spring and summer long while the NYPD is STILL being instructed not to harrass these people. So I say let the gentrification happen. Raise the rents so these idiots won't be able to continue to ruin Corona and East Elmhurst for everyone else because they won't be able to afford to live here anymore even with the free pass NYC gov. gives all of these immigrants(legal and illegal)This crap has been going on around here for 20 years and a lot of us(who have lived here 50+ years)have had to sit and watch our area go down by the head. Resentment is extremely high against these people, but they are completely oblivious to it.
"DRAWN BY A FIVE YEAR OLD"
Not drawn at all !
You enter your lot size, number of cars (if any)floors etc and the computer software draws you a home to the maximum possible. You can them make budget changes, numbers of apartments by clicking the mouse. The Asian hat style brick boxes give the maximum with least building material $$ and labor. The software uses building material and simple cuts
I think we used to call them Fedders specials, my 5 year old neive draws better homes then these computer CAD architects. All the the true art and skills have been lost, they are in the cemetery. It seems our children are only interested in singing, dancing and making useless forms of art. If these brats think they have it bad now wait till the Chinese own every home and business and make them slaves or welfare lifers.
Its coming along with mass poverty and socialism
Be creative and use your imagination or choose one of these gift ideas for your employees
and make your annual picnic a time to remember. This detail store has a
big poster in its window with the words "Luckiest Store Where Millions Have Living Succeeded. When creating a vocabulary list for "The Lottery", you need to keep in mind that I selected these words based on my students' abilities. Because of the extravagant amount of combinations, winning would be slimmer so in essence, bonus ball lottery is better quite better than the multistate lottery.

Sorry you missed it but NYC taxes are going up more than 20% so we will be at $15,000 very soon = don't knock LI tax base so fast.
What is called "gentrification" is not gentrification at all it is a take-over, just look at Flushing - that's not gentrification by any definition. Corona was beautiful at one time as is whats left of North East Queens - those days in Corona have been over since the 70's and the rest of North East Queens is near to the same extinction.
Men playing bocce? You mean the old mobsters in "Spaghetti Park"
LOL!
zoe is a hipster airbnb promoting troll looking to enrage readers of this site. Not worth the time.
Rents around Williamsburg are going down, the exodus is already starting as the L shutdown draws near, it looks like the hipshits are looking at northeast Queens and the 7 train for their living and lifestyle needs. It's going to get very claustrophobic and expensive around there.
And it is a takeover. These changes aren't natural. And it's all being done with foreign money.

Zoe is either a complete asshole (which that is obvious by her publicity style "writing"), a real estate person, an airbnb or some other bullshit promoter, which is so obvious & transparent, with her YAHOO style of writing, but what is so obvious it that this person/thing is completely ill informed, totally. I mean are you homeless, because that is what homeless do, grab a bottle in a bag and drink out in public in park. BUT more to the point, Corona is big and Zoe only mentioned the most obvious to everyone, even if you have never been to Corona, The Lemon Ice King of Corona (notice the choice of it's ice, Lemon) and the bocce court across from it. AND zoe, it is not "bowling", you are showing your stupidity and lack of knowledge even more than ever. What hip bars/restaurant are you even seeing, except for the few restaurants in that particular small area, which are long established place, I guess you don't venture anywhere else in Corona to see all the crap or even ventured out to Corona.
Stick to what you are good at, taking a selfie eating at some hip shit place in Brooklyn. AND try actually writing like a real person as opposed to having finished a 101 promoter course on-line. While JQ LLC will not indulge you or attack, I have no problem going after NYC assholes like yourself.
So Joe Moretti hates woman, calls Italians derogatory things like mobsters and hates crap ? What a nasty loathsome prick, Id gladly take hipsters over Mussolini next door any day.
You are way out of order comrade Top-Hat.

Another ill-informed reader of Queens Crap. So where is there any evidence that I hate women besides in your tiny little mind (don't use Zoe as an example since I have no idea of the sex of that individual nor did I reference anything regard that person's sex), show an actual example where I was derogatory to women and show where I have called Italians, mobsters, though I have stated that the poisonous polluting Royal Waste in Jamaica owned by Italians is mobbed up and detrimental to the many families that live by it, who were there way before Royal Waste. Again just show an example anywhere in this post of your not enlightened observations. Did I hurt your little snowflake feelings, does truth & reality offend you.
The only thing you did get right, is I hate crap, along with slobs who have no respect for the environment or their communities, crooked uethical politicians (male, female or anywhere in between) with no spines or balls, shoddy journalism, which seems to be the norm these days, white elitist liberals who raise hell about all the atrocities yet live in mostly white buildings/communities and people who think everyone is racists when they something that the other person disagrees with.
Now go "bowling" at the bocce courts in Corona with a alcoholic drink in a bag and have a very heady conversation with Zoe and other clueless individuals you may know.
I would not take clueless hipsters who bring about gentrification yet consider themselves "woke", Mussolini or ill informed let me just make up stuff kind of people such as yourself any day, month or year. Oh and make sure you hide behind "Anonymous: while you make a vapid point and call someone a nasty loathsome prick. WOW, how brave you are. CLAP, CLAP!!!
re last anon:
There's zoe's compadre chiming in with the false accusations to condone this revolting project and even more revolting zeitgeist.
There was puked out tostones and grilled chicken with a Sangria like texture on top of a broken router outside a $20 a night tent in Corona.

Don't feed the trolls !
Telling people that they are wrong in a malicious fashion is useless. How about some potential solutions to the problems instead of compounding them? Who are a couple of young people, white cultured Americans camping in a private yard trying to kill? Hey, I'm not happy about these slobs and illegals breaking into my country also. That along with the insane taxes, $2000 rents and quality of life conditions caused by this massive influx.
Angry self-righteous scolds like Mussolini Joe and his meltdown’s are in part large part of the problem. Rather then work out solutions through intelligent dialog balloon knots like this choose to rant, call peoples names, make fun of appearance, pick on spelling and grammar when they really have nothing coherent to add.
Perfect example: The above mentioned semantic samurai throwing another apocalyptic screed about how young people are becoming illiterates, mutilating an English language that was once so revered. Ice vs Lemon ice, bocce VS bowling —about how the day VS night when we shall fight and drool to each other through the YAHOO writings he speaks of?
And another thing, the correction on Bocce VS Bowling is a personal attack because I’m half Italian. When my grandfather and uncles would go bowling they called it BOCCE and here is why. Bocce, is anglicized for bocci, a ball sport belonging to the Boules family as in British (bowling) and French (cochonnet). All these words were derived from the same ancient game played in the Roman Empire. Perhaps “Mussolini Joe” is apparently to anger blinded (or ignorant) to realize he is making a complete ass of himself. ---sad
I don’t know, perhaps folk like this had miserable childhoods, have mental issues, never sipped wine under a moonlit warm summer night watching listening to the New York Pops in the park. Never experienced the peaceful glow of a Chinese candle boat ceremony in Flushing Meadow Park. Sit out on a beach at dusk and play guitar. One incapable of enjoying the senses of, taste, smell, vision, sound.
I’m not religious person but sometimes you need to pray for assholes like this
Well, I will say one thing about on this "banter" and pretty much all comments, etc on Queens Crap. It goes to show the awful conditions living in an overcrowded, lack of enforcement, anything goes city like NYC. This is NOT normal and causes major stress, anger, etc for many who live here (of course the answer is to leave, which many of us will once we are done with our jobs, etc). NYC has always been a stressful place with a poor quality of life, but it has been magnified in the last 10-15 years a 100 times from a shitty subway system to literally living on top of each other.
AND this also goes to the fact of pitting people against each other while elected officials and the government do whatever the fuck they want.
AND Zoe and others, I don't need your psychology 101 evaluation of me.
Not bad Zoe but you are still full of "Shite" !
Illegal lodging is good for cultured whites but not for unculture minorities, eh Zoe? Typical neoliberal logic and defiant hypocrisy.
See you on the gothamist comments board, stupid.
Zoe and your little band of merry band of hypocritical liberals might just want to stop while you are still slightly behind, because you continue to dig yourself into that neoliberal / hypocritical liberal view pit hole. Just saying "Who are a couple of young people, white cultured Americans camping in a private yard trying to kill" proves what I have been saying about this types of liberals (deBlasio one of the biggest) that give liberals a bad name.
This is Queens Crap and while you will read some idiotic and at time very racists comments, many who have been following this blog for a long time are actually educated (and not necessarily "college" educated), well read, knows much about the communities we live it, know how city government tend to work on a basic level if not more (and know the names of elected officials - I bet many can not even name their own Senators, House of Representative official, let alone councilmembers or assembly members who represent them), read different viewpoints not just in their own little liberal or conservative bubble to get a broader and more realistic viewpoint, actually read real newspapers as opposed to getting news from crap like Facebook & Twitter and are very opinionated and don't worry or care what others say. Winston Churchill once said “You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
AND we can cut through crap be it some elitist far left limousine liberal or staunch far right conservative nut like a Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh who are in it for the money. With your "white cultured American" line, you held up a big mirror on your bullshit.
Now analyze me again with your pop psychology about how I had a bad childhood, was kept in a locked room in a basement and forced to read Mein Kampf. AND the coming up with potential solution are what overpaid asshole elected officials are put into office for, you know like the whole MTA subway disaster that two knuckleheads like Cuomo and deBlasio are NOT doing due to their ego and not be held accountable for their actions at the detriment of the constituents who are paying their bloated salaries and pensions.
Oh and I did not know that bocce vs bowling or even Football vs Futbol are considered a personal attack on you because you are half Italian as opposed to you are just an asshole for the sake of being an asshole, which that would be more of a personal attack.
Welcome to Queens Crap Zoe, ain't this FUN!!!!!!
Zoe is like that dumbass who went under the name of "Italian Girl" years ago on this website in which she was freaking out over a guy who owned a fucking anitque black powdwr rifle. Is this the Gothamist invasion? Probably some hipster degenerate that chugs shitty Sangria and whiskey and gets drunk behind the wheel but freaks out over someone toking a bong in their own home.
This blog is pathetic. Idiotic rants and very little productive posts. Zoe is attacked for what? Oh, no, the commie Chinese are taking over a Flushing and now Corona! Who cares? Joe, your holier than thou rant is self serving arrogance. So you know your senator so what? Do you volunteer for any campaigns or do community work?

------------------------------
No, this blog is not pathetic, just assholes like yourself that always ask that same bullshit question, no matter if it is this blog or any other for that matter, that same standard question "Do you volunteer for any campaigns or do community work?
Looks in the mirror and ask yourself, "what, have I done to better my community or the world". You have no idea, what many of this blog do for for their communities. Really, you should be asking that question to all the asshole elected officials in Queens, starting with Melinda Katz, because these are the folks that should actually be doing something, considering that are getting fucking paid. FUNNY how the clowns that get paid to better communities do SHIT, but everyone else with actual jobs are supposed to volunteer and fix the shit that the paid hacks don't do.
AND what do you do besides hiding behind ANONYMOUS. How big of you. Oh wait, on second thought, I don't care, what you do, what you don't do. This post or this blog is not too make you feel good about you, Zoe, period. It is about exposing bullshit in this borough with facts and then people comment on it. Get over it.
Saw some gentrifiers on the 7 in Corona recently. They're raising the rents so high, where is anyone supposed to live anymore?
Zoe, the Ohio transplant, is exactly the racist, elitist white gentrifier moving in. Exploits the cultural enclaves of NYC who've managed to get by & make a place for themselves, for the low rent (which gets jacked up after a few Zoes move in, since they all have cushy creative type jobs). They move to NYC for the "cultural experience" then wanna complain about the culture... And as Zoe herself said, think they are more "cultured" since they're white and educated.
" Zoe, the Ohio transplant they all the Ohio transplant have cushy creative type jobs"
Huh ?
Not even close Einstein:
She was born in St.Johns hospital in Queens, is from Glendale and is a professional roller derby athlete and successful song writer who also volunteers for a lot of community things.
She hates deBlasio and could properly kick your ass too. the rest is none a'ya fucking business.
@Joe
successful song writer? what songs are we familiar with that she wrote?
Is promoting her ability to skate and assault people who would disagree with her really relevant to the issues at hand here?
