Permits have been filed for a seven-story residential building at 30-78 29th Street in Astoria, Queens. Located between 30th Drive and 31st Avenue, the interior lot is within walking distance of the 30th Avenue subway station, serviced by the N and W trains. Desmond Neill of Silverline Construction Management is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 70-foot-tall development will yield 18,611 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 27 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 689 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, a 36-foot-long rear yard, and 14 open parking spaces.
James Cleary Architecture is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed earlier this month. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

demolish the last quaint home and front yard on the block for an out of context piece of garbage.
So sad what’s happening to Astoria
Greed has no bounds
How is it greed when one of your local Astoria homeowners sold it to a developer and made a great return of themselves? Happening all over the US as people cash out of their homes. Capitalism 🙂
Well it’s happened they finally ruined Astoria, I moved into Astoria in 1959 there weren’t even parking meters now all you see is dirty filthie astoria street vendors all over the place looks like a bizarre in a third world country, the story was really beautiful town at one time everybody know each other now it’s like land of international strangers
You literally just described New York City in the late 1800s after immigration brought millions of people from Europe to Manhattan. If you don’t respect and appreciate the diverse history and melting pot of the city and all who’ve come before, you don’t deserve to live in New York City
