How is this luxurious monstrosity going to fit?

NY YIMBY

New renderings from Michael Muroff Architect reveal Armature, a seven-story residential building at 64-08 Wetherole Street in Rego Park, Queens. Developed by Tahoe Development, a local real estate investment entity, the structure features an exposed concrete frame that visually and structurally links the ground-floor planters, residential balconies, and rooftop trellises. Many of the building’s floor-to-ceiling windows are recessed behind the structural forms offering a sense of modesty from within and industrial minimalism from the exterior vantage.

When complete, Armature will comprise around 20,000 square feet, the majority of which is accounted for in residential area. The solo component will yield 26 rental apartments ranging from studios up to two-bedroom layouts. Associated amenity spaces will include a roof deck with private cabanas and passive recreation space, a fitness room, dog bathing areas, a package room, bike stations, and a 13-vehicle parking lot.

 I think it's prudent to point out that this was approved without Cojo's "Planning Together". 

Say goodbye to that baby tree there. And we thought de Blasio cared about the environment.

And, those structural pillars will provide a fine place for burglars to climb up into any story they want. Duh.

It's going to fit like 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag

industrial minimalism from the exterior vantage.

That usually means just a square box with no features or adornment. This building isn't pretty, but it's a heck of a lot better than that.

>26 apartments
>13 parking spaces

Where are the other half of the tenants going to park? There's not enough street parking in that area as it is.
