Renderings of Woodside Green via EDI International
While permits have not yet been filed for 72-01 – 72-17 Queens Boulevard, plans are in full swing for the site currently occupied by a single-story auto repair shop: A mixed-use development known as Woodside Green is said to contain parking, retail, and over 400 residential units. The Hakimian Organization is at the helm, having purchased the property from Piermont Properties for $33 million in 2018 (h/t The Real Deal).
Renderings by EDI International show a red and gray brick building with an interesting fenestration pattern. The apartments within will be split between market-rate and affordable, but the exact ratio has not yet been specified. The site also calls for 175 parking places, and residents will also benefit from having several bus stops and the Elmhurst Avenue subway station close by. If all goes according to plan, completion is estimated for 2021.

Executive Director Shawn Hakimian expressed optimism about building in Woodside because its “transportation is strong, retail is thriving, and the school system is excellent," and he's not the only one who thinks so. Down the street from Woodside Green, an affordable lottery is taking place at J&J Tower. And at 69-02 Queens Boulevard, Madison Realty Capital has committed to building a two-tower development with 431 units, 129 of which will be affordable, and a 476-seat school (h/t Curbed).
