New Development on 31st Avenue and 11th st

A nine-story residential building will be built in Old Astoria, at 11-37 31st Avenue, between Vernon Boulevard and 12th Street. 91 feet tall when complete it will include 168 units on 110,450 sq ft. The project will be a ground-up development and will replace an extant two-story structure on site.

The neighborhood consists of low-rise residential buildings and old warehouses along the waterfront, which are slowly making way for new redevelopments ground-up construction. The only other tall building in the vicinity is East River Tower, directly across the street to the south at 11-24 31st Avenue, which stands 20 stories tall.

11-37 31st Avenue is half a block away from the waterfront. The closest subway from the project site is the 30th Avenue subway line on the N and W train, taking commuters to Midtown at 59th Street and the rest of Queens via the 7 train at Queensboro Plaza.
