Panoram of LIC's new towers from Thomson Avenue. Rockrose's topped out Eagle Electric redevelopment labeled; CItyRealty
Fresh off the leasing launch of Hayden, Rockrose Development has topped off yet another rental tower in Long Island City. Taking shape at the old Eagle Electric factory site at 43-22 Queens Street, the project will be the developer’s fourth in the neighborhood. Recently, a flag was pitched at the southwest corner of the 598-foot high structure to mark the pinnacling occaision.
The half-block redevelopment, just off Jackson Avenue, will yield nearly 800 rental apartments that will be spread within the shell of an old manufacturing building and throughout a shimmering 54-story, 598-foot high skyscraper. The construction crew just topped out the tower, making it the third tallest building in Queens behind One Court Square and Heatherwood's nearly-finished Tower 28.
