What it brings to the neighborhood: The two rental-apartment towers (36 and 44 stories tall) will deliver restaurant and retail business to Hell’s Pantry. Rezoned from industrial use to residential and commercial use only in 2005, the area has been sorely lacking in those amenities.
What it takes away: Pedestrian-friendly streets. The new building, like others going up in the area, includes underground parking garages. Critics argue that this will facilitate automobile use, adding traffic and exhaust to a district already dominated by the car-choked ramps in and out of the Lincoln Tunnel.

The Rockaways is experiencing a major redevelopment and for N.Y standard, is very cheap to rent and buy.
How are they even allowed to represent projects like the way this is depicted? The looming fake illustration makes the building look like it's in the middle of some suburban corporate campus, not the insanely dense and cluttered Queensboro Plaza area. That rooftop deck will seem cozy with the clatter and squeal of the #7 train 50 feet away. More absurdly placed, cheaply built habitats for Bloomberg's lemmings. I hope the building offers a permanent supply of Kool-Aid in its lobby Sub-Zero.
No mention of Atlantic Yards?! Really?!
