Leasing has begun on an 8-story rental building that has just gone up in a leafy section of Kew Gardens.
The building, called The Grove and located at 83-67 116th St., features 46 units, including 32 market rate apartments, in a modern building with a new-age design. The market rate units range in price from $1,650 for a studio to $3,400 for a 2 bedroom on the top floor with a terrace.
The building is located within 2 blocks from Forest Park and many of the units have sweeping views of the 538-acre park, which is the third largest park in Queens. It is also within 3 blocks of Lefferts Boulevard, a major thoroughfare in Kew Gardens, and is in close proximity to the LIRR and subway.
The first floor consists of three units and the lobby, followed by five to seven units per story through the eighth floor. The building features amenities such as a fitness room, children’s play room, storage units, a laundry room and a dog run in the back yard. There is also roof access and a virtual doorman.
I wrote about this out of scale monster last summer.
Glad to see they completed this. I admit the rents seem "reasonable" considering the aesthetics, plus they are offering the first month rent free (or shall I say they are cancelling the first months rent?), so they are really desperate to get tenants in this economic purgatory climate. But I think it's better to let the developers marketing drones describe it:
“83-67 116th St. is an impressive building, drenched in natural light, high ceilings and scenic views. We are fortunate to be working with MTZ Group as they are proven to be pioneers in this new development market in Kew Gardens.”
What's this natural light they speak of? As opposed to the natural light standing outside on the sidewalk? Or the natural light in your apartment during the day with the blinds closed?

Who has 3400 dollars to rent a 2 bedroom apartment these days? Aren't we at like 16 percent unemployment rate here ?
$3400?
Manhattan prices in Queens.
Good Luck!
Actually Manhattan is cheaper.
A friend pays less who lives there for the same!
And $500,000 buys you a one BR Tudor City co-op.
They’re fleeing the isle for the upstate burbs.
Buy now so when NYC makes its come back....you own a gold mine.
Queens? STRICTLY dull!
KG and Forest Hills. Very convenient to Manhattan. But who needs to be close to Manhattan anymore? 1650 for a studio? And still a schlep to the subway and LIRR. Hard pass
The DOB and real estate developers continue to destroy Kew Gardens by squeezing the ugliest bindings in between beautiful homes that will eventually be destroyed. I honestly don’t get it.
As usual OVERPRICED and I don't see anything about "parking". Is there any part of NYC that has not been destroyed by greed, Real Estate Developers and corrupt politicians.
YAWN....Queens....culturally bereft!
That’s why Manhattan is worth more.
WADDA we got here....Theatre In The Park...dragon boat races....the Queens😂Museum? 2nd to 3rd rate fare. I take my 23 minute trek on the LIRR and I’m in the real big apple. I’m happy with my Queens crib and easy safe access to great museums and concert venues👍
The headline is very funny! Crap Mahal, ha-ha-ha-ha - congrats JQ. Well done.
The illustration includes the part on the left that is NOT built; only the monstrosity on the right which sticks out beyond every other line on the street and blocks sunlight beliw
