The industrial area near downtown Flushing may have escaped a rezoning from the city, but developers are still eyeing the warehouses and building supply stores for future high-rises. One of those builders has filed plans for a 12-story, mixed-use development at 133-34 36th Road, a few blocks from the Main Street stops on the 7 train and the Long Island Railroad.
Phoenix Realty Group and Artimus Construction have acquired a 52-year ground lease for the development site at 147-07 94th Avenue in downtown Jamaica. The property was valued at roughly $34 million, and the development teams plan to build a mixed-use project with residential units and commercial-retail space. The residential units will be a mix of market-rate and affordable apartments.
A rendering has been posted at the site of the nine-story, 48-key hotel planned at 145-07 95th Avenue in downtown Jamaica.

Jamaica-based A&I Developers Inc. has filed applications for a pair of three-story, five-unit residential buildings at 21-17 and 21-19 Birdsall Avenue in Far Rockaway.

There will be a total six off-street parking spaces, all located indoors. Barry J. Bank’s Kew Gardens-based engineering firm is the applicant of record. The 50-foot-wide, 6,750-square-foot property is vacant. The Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue stop on the A train, as well as the neighborhood’s Long Island Rail Road station, are three blocks away.
An anonymous Long Island City-based LLC has filed applications for a seven-story, 12-unit residential building at 30-48 Crescent Street in Astoria.

Amenities include off-street parking for six cars, laundry facilities, and a rooftop terrace. Long Island City-based GKA Design Group is the architect of record. The 26-foot-tall, 4,901-square-foot lot was occupied by a two-story house until that was demolished earlier this year. The 30th Avenue stop on the N and Q trains is located four blocks away.
