Hey folks, remember back in January when I wrote about Jersey City getting a 95-story tower and wondered how long before we do? Well guess what, it didn’t take very long. Yes, it is only 70 stories, but today The Real Deal reports that plans have been filed for LIC’s first mega-skyscraper.
It’s slated to hold 930 residential units, amenities, retail, etc., etc., and will be located in, …ehh, this local would call it Queens Plaza not Queensboro Pl like TRD did.
Here’s the big question though: Will it actually be built? There’s a ton of construction all ready underway all over the Ct Square/Qns/Qnsboro Plaza area, lots more on the drawing boards, and Sunnyside Yards “who-knows-what-situation” is half a block away. Judge for yourself, but I’d take an even money bet that there won’t be 70-stories on that lot before 2020.
