Great detective work! How come the comments appear as only one word on each row?

Interesting? Any other gossip about that block. Seems to be pretty active one, considering there aren’t *too many* large lots.

Wish those townhouses could’ve been for sale, but rentals seem to be the theme these days in LIC.

Well, depends. You can buy air rights and go up higher. Mainco and the small townhouse next to it on the Right are both going down soon, and supposedly a condo/hotel is going up, and it’s speculated to be at least 6 floors. I guess they can combine the air rights of both buildings. And who knows, maybe someone on the block will sell them some. I know OHP went door to door trying to buy air rights.

PS. I love the ‘gossipy neighbors’. I am one myself.

The “gossipy neighbors” also tell me that the Mainco building a couple of doors to the west is coming down as well.

You can’t build a high rises on the midblocks. I think the max is 4 or 5 floors.

is it possible it can be a highrise condo or are there restrictions on building height on that block?
