Application documents filed on Nov. 5 seek approval for a 14-story residential tower at 143-24 94th Avenue in Jamaica. The proposed structure will contain 74 housing units and stand 145 feet tall.
The building will cover 42,463 square feet of floor space. With an average unit size of 573 square feet, the apartments are sized for compact living. The property will also include a rear yard measuring 66 feet in length.
Joel Weiss of Heartfelt Townhouse Build submitted the building applications. JFA Architects and Engineers DPC is listed as the architect of record. A single-story building previously occupied the site. Demolition permits for that old structure were filed in July.
The location offers access to multiple transit lines. The Jamaica Long Island Railroad station is nearby. The Sutphin Boulevard/Archer Avenue-JFK Airport subway station serves the E, J, and Z lines. Bus routes Q6, Q8, Q9, Q20, Q24, Q25, Q41, Q44-SBS, Q60, Q65, and Q112 stop in the immediate area.
Local amenities include Howard Von Dohlen Playground, Gateway Park, and P.S. 50Q The Talfourd Lawn Elementary School. No estimated completion date for the new construction has been provided in the filed documents.
