Excavation is currently underway on the site of a future 7-story residential building at 30-78 29th St. in Astoria. The building is expected to be completed in winter 2025.
Demolition work on the site, which previously housed a single-family home, was completed in the first half of 2024. Now the area is cordoned off by a wooden fence on the sidewalk while excavation work continues throughout the property. This work is expected to continue for the next few months. Those working on the property hope to begin foundation work shortly before the end of the year.
The completed building will be 70 feet tall and offer 18,611 square feet of living space. There will be 27 rental units with an average size of 689 square feet. The facility will also feature a basement, a 36-foot-long rear yard and 14 open parking spaces.
This property is located in close proximity to the 30th Avenue subway station, which serves the N and W trains.
The building was designed by James Cleary Architecture and the property is owned by Desmond Neill of Silverline Construction Management.
