Below-grade work is progressing at 43-30 24th Street, the site of a 66-story residential skyscraper in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by Hill West Architects and developed by Carmel Partners, the 731-foot-tall tower will yield 921 units spread across 838,000 square feet and 17,400 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The developer purchased the 79,250-square-foot full-block parcel from Stawski Partners for $200 million in March 2022 and secured a $364 million construction loan from Wells Fargo to complete the project. Carmel Construction East is the general contractor for the property, which is bound by 43rd Avenue to the north, 44th Road to the south, 24th Street to the east, and 23rd Street to the west.
Recent photos show the site cleared of the one- and five-story industrial structures that previously occupied it. A significant number of pilings have already been driven into the ground.
The rendering in the main photo shows a tall rectangular massing clad in a glass curtain wall with horizontal strips of paneling breaking up the wide elevation. Several sections of wave-shaped stacked balconies protrude, further enhancing the texture of the exterior, and a pocketed outdoor terrace is positioned along the midway point of the western corner. The tower rises from a sprawling podium topped with landscaping for a terrace.

The middle class are being pushed right out of the housing market but the elite still get tax breaks on multiple homes.
Thinner buildings are possible by mixing carbon fibers instead of steel in the concrete.
Looks cool to me.
Anyway, just to be like most of the other commentators here.
This is all Joe Biden's fault, as well as the fault of DemoRats, TA commies and Nazi Ukrainians with Viking symbols.
Prove me wrong ..
I, for one, welcome our new Chinese overlords.

Goes well with the carbon - Graphene Oxide - already in the people.
Should be interesting to see the "carbon" building when an earthquake hits.
@I, for one, welcome our new Chinese overlords.
you for one is stealing handles
Donald Trump will put a stop to this.
Instead of razor thin towers full off Sheeple renter serifs, it’ll be big fat black and gold towers full of Sheeple renter serifs.
You could also opt for the underwater version by voting for DeSantis from Atlantis …
That religious dude with the pigeons seems to be looking up in awe at this new structure. A new home for his pigeons, or maybe he thinks heaven awaits atop this structure.
But of course, Magog is cognate with Magyar and Mongol, and Gog with Hungar, Uyighur and Hangook. Which is why the “west” is the magog, descended from Huns, Lapps, Finns, Vikings and American Indians. And the Shanghai pact is ancients (Byzanium, Persia, India, China) trying to reclaim their patrimony from the magog millenium
The proposed building looks like an iPhone a charging dock. How inspiring and appropriate.
@“ But of course, Magog is cognate with Magyar …”
What’s that your smoking? Seems like you got a severe dose of brain smog.
When I was a child I cried when I was upset. Now that i'm an adult , only beauty brings a tear to my eye.
Govt distorts not only resource allocation but cultural norms.
