Who&#8217;s got the power?


1) Starbucks is coming to LIC.  (deep sigh &#8211; c&#8217;mon we knew it was inevitable)  One spot is the Eastcoast building, the other is an undisclosed location somewhere in Vernon/Jackson.  We will keep you updated on that one fa sho.

2) The Zipper Building is not owned by Toll Brothers. [...]]]></description>

421-a will make your head spin.  But let&#8217;s see if we can sort it out a bit.  The program, officially known as the 421a Tax Abatement, was created in the 70&#8217;s to encourage residential development in NYC.  It offered developers a 10-25 year abatement on real estate taxes, which were passed on [...]]]></description>

This is not the usual rat one sees at a construction site, or is it?


Yesterday, liQity photographer Jenni Snead stumbled across a union protest against One Hunters Point for employing non-union workers:

&#8220;The first thing I saw when I came out of the subway was the giant, blow-up strike rat on the corner of Vernon &#38; [...]]]></description>

Arris Lofts at 27-28 Thomson Ave, Courthouse Square, LIC


I visited Arris Lofts a long time ago, back in the day when they were still cool.  IE before all the Arris bashing began on curbed.com.  I can&#8217;t really say I blame the bashers, since the building had some &#8216;curiosities&#8217; even before we heard about [...]]]></description>

11-15 50th Ave, Hunters Point


This morning, a special liQcity source gave us the scoop that the mystery building at 11-15 50th Ave, just south of Hunters View (by the Pulaski), filed a CPS1 with the Attorney General&#8217;s office. CPS1 = Cooperative Policy Statement 1.  Essentially, this allows the developer to advertise the project in [...]]]></description>

Casa Vizcaya&#8217;s coming along nicely.  Haven&#8217;t seen too much chatter about this development, except of course, the usual LIC bashing on curbed.  A search for listings pulls up seven, all listed by Corcoran.  Seems like prices have dropped since the original offerings, but don&#8217;t quote me on that.

As an interesting side note, [...]]]></description>

A collaged view of Fusion LIC, 4251 Hunter St, Courthouse Sq, LIC


It&#8217;s hard to get a unobstructed shot of the well-known condo development Fusion LIC, so liQcity photographer Jenni Snead fused (pun intended) one together.  There&#8217;s an Open House this weekend for the 6 listings still on the market, all listed by Halstead.

Star Building at 42-26 28th St


We&#8217;re running into some more unidentified conversions going on in LIC.  How surprising.  The latest one is the old Star building, which is located near the Fusion LIC site in Courthouse Square.  It seems work has just recently begun.  Anyone have any knowledge of what&#8217;s happening [...]]]></description>
