29-26-Northern-Boulevard-rendering

Check out the new design planned for 29-26 Northern Boulevard, off of Queens Plaza North in Long Island City. New York IMBY picked up the images from the Stephens B. Jacobs Group website, which also reveal that the 45-story building will be called “The QE7.” It’ll hold studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom rental apartments. Here are details on the amenities, straight from the website:

Imagined as an urban vertical cruise ship, the building offers many amenities, including a two-story fitness center on the 2nd and 4th floors with lounge, gym, spa, climbing wall, pool, and outdoor 5v5 soccer pitch. A covered outdoor half-court basketball court is located on the 38th floor setback, and a rooftop bar and lounge is on the 43rd floor, with access to outdoor terrace space and unobstructed panoramic views.

An urban vertical cruise ship? Haven’t heard that one before. There’s no construction timeline for the QE7, although the DOB disapproved building permits in January. The developers purchased this site back in February for $54,000,000. Check out two more renderings after the jump…

  1. this is what is being built, all inclusive buildings so no one every has to leave except maybe to go to work . This does not create neighborhoods, it isolates people even more and people have no reason to become involved in their community/neighborhood. And those who are already live in these neighborhood don’t get improved services such as grocery stores, gyms etc. We are creating mini cities within a building.
