Development Lot "Astoria's Prime Corridor" 30th Ave (Queens, NYC)

Astoria’s value is often defined by one address: 30th Avenue—and this offering sits squarely within that prime corridor. With R6A zoning, the property presents a compelling opportunity for a contextual, high-quality residential development in one of Queens’ strongest condo markets.

The zoning allows for a Base FAR of 3.00, translating to approximately 15,000 buildable square feet. Through the Inclusionary Housing Program, the FAR increases to 3.60, allowing up to 18,000 buildable square feet, materially enhancing project yield and overall return.

Surrounded by Astoria’s acclaimed dining scene, convenient retail, and vibrant street life, the site is just moments from the elevated N train at 30th Avenue, offering a seamless commute to Manhattan and connectivity across NYC. Proximity to Mount Sinai Queens Hospital further strengthens end-user demand, particularly among medical professionals seeking quality housing within walking distance of work.
