The property is located on the Hallets Point peninsula.
The building would be 75 feet tall and also contain a cellar and 29 enclosed parking spaces. The owner is listed as Yitzchok Katz, operating under the corporate name of Developing NY State LLC.

STOP making more apartment buildings. So many apartments already sitting empty. This is horrible you are messing up my neighborhood.
I don’t think Astoria needs anymore of the high rise building anymore…too much!!! Already!!
Stop building in Astoria!!!
You’re killing the community.
My child is a”Third Generation Astorian”;at this rate their will not be a”Fourth Generation of Astorians”in my family.Gentrification,being priced out,no sense of community what so ever.Instead of building more …upgrade exiting structures.why not go to Louisiana and others states and help them rebuild after disaster…we have an abundance of empty overpriced units in Astoria already.
