Excavation work is being done at the development site of a future 7-story residential building at 30-78 29th St. in Astoria. The estimated completion of the building is set for the winter of 2025.

Demolition work was completed at the site, which was previously occupied by a single home, in the first half of 2024. Now, the area is blocked off by wooden fencing on the sidewalk, with the excavation work ongoing across the parcel. This work is expected to continue for the next few months. Those working on the property hope to begin foundation work just before the end of the year.

The completed structure will be 70 feet tall and yield 18,611 square feet of residential space. There will be 27 rental units there, averaging 689 square feet. The development will also have a cellar level, a 36-foot-long rear yard, and 14 open parking spaces.

This property is located within close proximity to the 30th Avenue subway station, which services the N and W trains.

The building was designed by James Cleary Architecture. Desmond Neill of Silverline Construction Management is listed as the owner of the property.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
