Blvd Construction Management recently filed applications and excavation permits with the Department of Buildings at 98-28 – 98-32 Queens Boulevard, between 65th Road and 66th Avenue in Rego Park. The application is for an eight-story, 68-unit residential building. There’s a proposed 46,769 square feet of residential space, 10,805 square feet of retail space, and 9,108 square feet for a community facility: a grand total of 66,683 square feet. The design is by the architect Gerald J Caliendo.
Gerry's involved? Oh, well then I'm sure the design will be tasteful.

How about indoor parking?
I wonder if they will work the pawn shop into their plans.
Had not been on Queens Blvd along its entire length for some time.
I was shocked. There was once a few patches that looked good. Now its is a, like most of its boro, a visual nightmare.
Contrast that to Park, Eastern Parkway, Ocean Parkway, Grand Concourse.
They must have parking according to the zoning laws.

Its all third world trash construction with no oversight by any group or government agency. Nobody objects because nobody who lives along it knows any better. All they know is that its a step up from the 3rd world slum they crawled out of, and they are happy with that.
Yippee!
As a long time resident I think most of the new construction in our neighborhood is of sub-par quality built by real estate speculators. The buyers are mostly first time foreign born people who seem to be impressed by newer and more modern looking buildings despite their higher prices, much smaller liviving areas and design flaws. Gradually the neighborhood has become more populated, noisy, congested, impersonal and has lost its friendly small town appeal. Like in many other areas of NYC there appears to be little or no urban planning as the local infrastructure becomes burdened with massive increases in people and automobiles. Why do we allow builders of apartment buildings to only provide parking space for only 30 percent of the residents? When do they plan to expand and renovate our subway stations and bus service, are any new schools or hospitals on the agenda of City Hall? Sorry to say but this native New Yorker is soon going to moving to greener pastures with neighbors who have greater shared values and a stronger belief in community involvement and shared responsibilities. I hope things turn around and wish you all the best of health and luck. Lou D
