71-53-Austin-Street-Queens-0813

Sorry Forest Hills! It looks like Austin Street is not getting an H&M. DNAinfo reports that a medical center will fill 75 percent of the new commercial build at 71-53 Austin Street. The developer is still looking for one more tenant to fill the smaller space. The walk-in medical facility (run by ProHealth) should open early next year and will serve both adults and children.

  1. While I agree an urgent care center is good for Forest Hills, Austin Street is not the place for it. When you are trying to transform a neighborhood by bringing in restaurants, bars and shops, an urgent care center is a big downer. I think Queens Boulevard would be a better place for it.

  2. This is so much better than a H&M! We have a lousy local hospital in FH, whose ER is not good, so now a hopefully better choice for urgent care. It will also serve the needs of the large elderly population here who don’t drive.
