For a while construction has been humming along 31st Street just around the corner from Bohemian Hall and just south of the Peter Vallone Sr. school (PS 85). Located at 23-88 31st Street (GMAP,) it’s going to be a 32,122 square foot, seven story mixed used building – residences and commercial. There was a 2 story house there originally, a very boxy brick building, that was demolished two summers ago. In its place will be 28 residential units and 14 enclosed parking spaces. The commercial part (office and retail) will take up about 9,000 square feet.

Here are the zoning plans with a building illustration. Click to enlarge.

The location is quite good – only about a block to the Astoria Blvd N/Q express stop; close to restaurants including the historic Bohemian Hall Beer Garden, Sparrow Tavern, Astoria Park Wine & Spirits, and the ever popular Neptune Diner. It’s extremely close to both a playground and the above-mentioned PS 85.
