This looks great, but I’ve come to regard LIC as a symbol of NY’s abject failure for obvious reasons.

It will fill up. The transit is too convenient for it not to.

Why? Other than Amazon not locating there… LIC and Downtown BK becoming business hubs, small drops in the bucket compared to Manhattan but a success as it’s important to decentralize - LIC is a success, not a failure

I recently took a work related trip from Manhattan to LIC, 42-20 27th street, a slick looking morph shaping blue glass residential condo/rental building. I recall there were several MTA train options going to Queensboro Plaza and I think one other subway station: all a quick 10 minutes trip into midtown Manhattan. There is plenty of RE development space available; but those big glass boxy-with-a-twist residential towers are too omnipresent - they need to change up the Architectural mix of styles. There area still has a lot of potential but so far they need to start doing much better in terms of urban planning and architecture: the area somehow seems a stale despite all the ‘edgy modernist architecture’.
The one with the curved corners, and horizontal white stripes looks nice - more of those PLEASE.
Too much of the ‘designer generic’ modernist glass towers.

Oh. My. God! Reminds me of the opening scene of the Clone Wars movie when they fly into a cloudy Coruscant!
