Queens Plaza Park is a proposed residential building, to be built in Queens.[1] The building will supersede One Court Square as the tallest in Queens, as well as the tallest building in New York City outside of Manhattan. The building is one of many under construction in Queens Plaza due to a 2001 rezoning.[2] When complete, the development will incorporate the Bank of Manhattan Company building.
History
The site was originally supposed to hold a 16-story hotel, but economic downturn caused the developers to enter bankruptcy. Steve Cheung then purchased the location for $8.3 million, intending to build a 30-story condominium tower. Cheung then sold the plot for $46.3 million to Hakim and PMG.[3] The new building may be the first supertall skyscraper in New York City outside Manhattan, unless 340 Flatbush Avenue is finished beforehand.[4]
Usage
The building will be residential, split between rentals and condos. It will be 900,000-square-feet and contain 800 units.[4]
