New York is finally becoming a true multi-nodal city with prosperous business hubs emerging throughout the five boroughs. One of the fasting growing and rising neighborhoods is Flushing, Queens, and here's our first ] look at a massive 550,000 square foot development that may rise at 40-70 Delong Street / 131-02 40th Road. Renderings of the project, dubbed Flushing Point Plaza, were published on Angel Ng & Anthony Ng's Architects Studio website and show a trio of glossy towers encircling an elevated courtyard. The development will feature two 18-story residential towers and a hotel. The glass-encased buildings will be adorned with balconies, terraces, open clerestories and landscaped roofdecks.
The parcel's owner is listed as Flushing Point Holdings LLC who purchased the triangular lot from Sam Chang's McSam Hotel Group for $44.5 million in 2015, the Observer first reported.
.Chang gave up his plans for a planned hotel and condominium site, hinting that the cause was an uncertain market. The site currently holds a two-story warehouse building and plans were filed to demolish the structure this past February. The site is situated across from the multi-towered development, Sky View Parc, and is located at the western end of 40th Road, adjacent to the Van Wyck Expressway,
