5-11 47th Avenue Coming Into Focus

It’s been a long time coming (what with the CUNY drama and all) but the residential development at 5-11 47th Avenue is showing real signs of progress: portions of the facade are already bricked up and, as you can see from the photo of the rear of the building on the jump, some windows are even in. According to one of those snazzy “What’s Going On Here?” posters affixed to the work shed, the 12-story project will include 188 apartments as well as a community center, lounge and gym when all is said and done. Who needs a gym though when you’re living across the street from such a beautiful soccer field?
