Big Box Retail Coming to Northern Blvd

Rendering

Feb. 4, 2014 By Michael Florio

Construction is expected to start on a large retail and office complex this year that is likely to turn 30-30 Northern Blvd into a destination for big box stores, rooftop restaurants and lounges.

The development will be connected to the neighborhood’s iconic 7-story Apple Building (see photo below).

The combined property will include three floors of retail space and more than 400,000 square feet of office space.

The complex is expected to house 3,000 employees and will attract an estimated 1,000 people in additional foot traffic.

There will be two levels of underground parking with valet services.

Winick Realty Group, which is marketing the property, announced the construction on behalf of Alma Realty Corp.

“This is a perfect opportunity for a big box retailer to make their presence known in Long Island City,” said Steven Baker, the president of Winick.

“We are pleased to be part of this incredible project that will help reshape the Long Island City retail landscape,” Baker said.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
