Permits have been filed for the construction of a 5-story mixed-use building at 11-08 Main Ave. in Astoria.

The lot, which has previously been used as a school bus parking area, is located across from the Two Coves Community Garden.

The proposed development would be 54 feet tall and yield 13,852 total square feet, with 9,024 square feet dedicated for residential space across nine units and 4,827 square feet for commercial space. With an average unit scope of 1,002 square feet, the residential units will most likely be condos. The entirety of the building’s commercial space would be on the first two floors.

This proposed building would also feature a cellar and eight enclosed parking spaces in addition to the nine residences and the commercial space.

Applications for the construction of this building, located between 30th Avenue and Astoria Boulevard, were submitted by Indra Fouche of All American School Bus Corp. The applications list Constantine Efstathiou of CE Architect, PLLC as the architect of record.

Demolition permits have not yet been filed for 11-08 Main Ave. An estimated completion date for the new building’s construction has not been provided yet either.

Sep. 2, 2025 By Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas

Four years ago, Hurricane Ida tore through our neighborhoods of East Elmhurst, Corona and Jackson Heights, leaving behind devastation we will never forget. We lost neighbors to the floodwaters. Families saw their homes destroyed, their basements wiped out, their lives upended. Immigrant families—so many of them undocumented—were hit the hardest, often excluded from relief altogether. Ida was not just a storm; it was a wake-up call.
