Our ideal ’hood
Construction junction
5. Star Tower
42-46 28th St at 42nd Rd, Long Island City, Queens
Current siteExpected: Winter 2009
What it brings to the neighborhood: A 25-story condo tower (with rooftop deck, pool and cabanas) that’s likely to attract well-off buyers with its views of Manhattan and the Queensboro Bridge, and the promise of an easy commute to midtown.
What it takes away: A bit of local history. The site, in a nabe with a curious mix of condos and industrial buildings, was once home to the Long Island Star newspaper.

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?!
