Long Island City Getty Gas Station to become bakery, 11th St @ 47th Rd

A while back, word came through the wire about the transformation of the Getty Gas Station (just the old auto-shop component, not the gas pumps) on 11th St @ 47th Road, into an ‘adaptive reuse bakery’ with a facade comprised of rolling pins. Well, it was speculated that this very, uh, creative renovation project was just a concept, not an actual plan. Au contraire! The plan is very much alive, and in fact, underway »

There’s one spot at the intersection of 11th street and Jackson Ave where you can stand in place and swivel around to catch four new developments taking shape around the Pulaski Bridge base. We checked in during the spring, and here’s the summer update:

First up is Hunters View, brother of One Hunters Point on Borden Avenue. The outer facade is almost finished, and it’s starting to look more like the condo building we all knew it would be. (Live like a rocket, right?) According to the sales agent, both buildings of the Hunters Point Condos are just over 50% sold.
