BLDG files plans for 818-unit mixed-use building in LIC

Lloyd Goldman’s BLDG Management, on June 15, filed a permit application for construction of an 818-unit, 650,090-square-foot mixed-use building at 42-02 Orchard Street in Long Island City, Queens. The site is about half a block from Sunnyside Yards. Jonathan Zane, senior project manager of development at BLDG, filed the plans.

The Goldman family has had ownership of this parcel since at least 1966, when Sold Goldman and his brother Irving Goldman, who is Lloyd Goldman’s father, were given a loan secured by the property.

The plans call for the construction of a 794-foot tall, 69-story commercial building, and were filed with the New York City Department of Buildings under number Q00528973. The development site spans two tax lots.

The project is described in the filing as: erect 69-story new building.

According to the plans, the ground floor of the building will have multiple retail spaces. Amenities in the building include a swimming pool, fitness space, recreation spaces, lounges, and terraces. Residential dwelling units span floors five through 68, with most floors having 13 or 14 units.

Perkins Eastman is listed as the architect.

There have been several large developments planned in the area over recent years. In 2014 Tishman Speyer filed plans for three developments with a total of 1,789 apartments, which when complete, will take up two blocks bounded by Jackson Avenue, Orchard Street, Sunnyside Yards, and Queens Boulevard. More recently, on December 14, 2020, Rockrose filed a permit application for construction of a 301-unit, 193,534-square-foot mixed-use building at 43-14 Queens Street.
