New Apartment Tower to Be Tallest Building in Queens
February 10, 2016
It doesn’t exactly trip off the tongue, but at least it will be very tall – the tallest building in all of Queens.
Court Square City View Tower, 79 stories with 774 apartments and 20,000 square feet of retail space, will rise 964 feet into the skies above Long Island City, making it the borough’s tallest building by about 50 feet.
The plans were filed last Saturday, the same day a developer filed plans to turn a nearby taxi garage into an 11-story condo building, the Real Deal reports. Court Square City View Tower is being developed by the Flushing-based developer Chris Xu, who, along with his brother George Xu, paid Citigroup $143 million for the property at 23-15 44th Drive.
The tower is being designed by the architectural firm of Goldstein, Hill & West.
