This site in Long Island City is currently in the process of rezoning from manufacturing uses to also accommodate residential. This project takes advantage of this imminent rezoning and proposes a new mid rise residential block along 5th Avenue, and 41st Street in Long Island City. The site is behind the current City Lights project and the new high rises under construction along the East River. The building’s design also takes advantage of the view corridor down 5th street to the river by creating alternating corner window conditions to allow residents open views towards the park across the street and the Manhattan skyline. The building is designed as a masonry base structure with a metal panel and glass set back level above.
