NEW YORK | East Coast LIC ǀ 7 Towers ǀ 200-316+ FT / 61-96 M ǀ 18 - 42+ FLOORS
Ok everyone! Here it is, one of the largest residential projects in NYC (3300 units+) that no one is talking about. It's about to be joined by Hunter's Point South, but that's another story for another day (and it hasn't broken ground yet). Please feel free to add any photos of the completed buildings (or those under construction here). In any event, let's talk about the site plan:
http://www.queenswest.com/eastcoast/...esiteplan1.jpg [1] The three buildings on the right side of the plan have been built. The buildings on the south (right on the image) are East Coast 1 and East Coast 2. They're both rentals, and they're both very nice. The third building, the one in front of the big square park is called The View. It's the shortest of the 3 buildings, but it's famous for every single apartment having views of Manhattan. The back of the building (facing Center Boulevard) is actually a hallway on every floor. There are no views to Queens. Currently, soil remediation is ongoing for the rest of the site (if someone wants to add photos of dirt being cleaned, go for it), but models have been shown of the next two towers. They are currently being known as East Coast 3 and 4 and are expected to break ground by February. The turf-field park is also completed and getting good use. You can see it in the site photo(s) below. Here's some photos and facts (where I have them): East Coast 1 299 FT / 31 Stories / 650 Units http://www.queenswest.com/eastcoast/...731_4720_1.jpg [1] http://www.queenswest.com/eastcoast/...st_4027_51.jpg [1] http://www.queenswest.com/eastcoast/...st_4027_42.jpg [1] East Coast 2 316 FT / 30 Stories / 395 Units http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2240/...5c1b06b8b8.jpg [2] http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2379/...1b518181f4.jpg [3] http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2108/...025c9d8470.jpg [3] The View 184 FT / 18 Stories / 184 Units http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3361/...d1c4a69829.jpg [3] http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2578/...ae0827d7_o.jpg [4] East Coast 3 ? / 42-45 Stories / 400-500 Units http://www.outerb.com/wp-content/upl...eastcoastc.jpg [7] http://www.outerb.com/wp-content/upl...eastcoastc.jpg [7] East Coast 4 ? / ? / 750 Units http://cdn3.curbednetwork.com/cache/...6c5219e5_o.jpg [6] http://cdn3.curbednetwork.com/cache/...e86e27e5_o.jpg [6] Site Photos Before: http://www.queenswest.com/eastcoast/...iverview_2.jpg [1] http://www.queenswest.com/eastcoast/...20020925_3.jpg [1] In Process: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3568/...3621fde819.jpg [3] http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2163/...43a756e2_b.jpg [5] Credits [1] http://www.queenswest.com [2] http://www.flickr.com/photos/atestofwill [3] http://www.flickr.com/photos/liqcity [4] http://wirednewyork.com/forum/member.php?u=12228 (Tectonic) [5] http://www.flickr.com/photos/smurphy [6] http://www.curbed.com [7] http://www.outerb.com |
I believe this is the same site where the proposed Olympic Village would have been built for the failed 2012 bid.
P.S. This thread is missing the NYC smiley :) |

I cannot wait for that to break ground. I know the project is drawing flak for a variety of questionable reasons, but how often does the city embark on a wide scale building project that extends the street grid? Here's the site plan for that care of curbed: http://curbed.com/uploads/2007_10_queenswestsouth.jpg |
Here's a nice shot of some of the complex:
http://www.jonpchan.com/wp-content/u...1/DSC_3421.jpg http://www.jonpchan.com/?p=1023 From left to right: EC1, EC2, Avalon Riverview North (nearly my home!), Citylights. That last one was the first tower built in Queen's west, almost ten years ago, and is a CondOp (I don't think it's a full on CoOp anyway). The other three are rentals. |
really nice complex! thanx for sharing!
|
i personally hate everything that is going on over there.

but here are 2 pics i took of that area not long ago

Oh RI! I used to live there, and now I don't. I'm sorry to say, but quite thankfully as well. That place was messed up. In any event, I'm sorry you don't like the LIC stuff. I'm really excited for it. I think that it's a net positive as far as development goes. While I don't agree with the amount of parking by either Rockrose or the city in HPS, I do appreciate the continuation of the street grid and the alignment and treatment of the park space. You'd think the towers would block the Manhattan skyline, but they're not so tall and not so broad, and everything is still quite visible from inland, so I just can't find much to dislike, which at the same time, I really love the way the area is coming together.

Remediation is wrapped up and all kinds of building outlines are staked out. I expect some serious digging to start this summer...

EC4 is on its way up:

Well, since I'm probably the only one who will be photographing this one rise:

Wow! I'm loving those towers. The ones that are built already are all right, but the ones starting look much much better. Can't wait to see updates on the construction of this site :D

Here's a couple pics I took today

WTF, how in the world have I missed this for the past year, what a huge development. It will add a pretty sweet skyline to the Bronx side of the river, I guess thats where it is, or maybe very northern Brooklyn. Either way, its freakin awesome.

It's LIC, right across from Midtown in the southwesternmost part of Queens.
