From Sky View Parc to 144-74 Northern Boulevard, it's no secret that large-scale development has been booming all over Flushing. The latest to hit the market is the 1.8 million-square foot, "transit oriented" development, Flushing Commons, which broke ground in 2014 and is now nearing completion of its first phase.
Phase I of the monumental project consists of a 12-story office building located at 38-08 Union Street and a 17-story, 148-unit mixed-use residential tower at 138-35 39th Avenue. With closings well underway and Phase I 98 percent sold, developers F&T Group, Rockefeller Group, and AECOM Capital have decided to unveil the model penthouse unit.
