Facade installation is nearly complete on ambitious luxury residential development at 25-08 43rd Ave in Long Island City, where the 119' tall futuristic structure rises on the site of a former auto mechanic shop.
The 39 unit project stands out with "Flatiron" characteristics; the designer, a protégé of Zaha Hadid, comes from IN-OA, with ownership listed as Central Realty LIC and General Contractor listed as BBTS Management. Elements of the design appear notably value-engineered when comparing rendering to progress photos; however some of the sinuousness of facade has made the final cut.

The posted signage indicates delivery of "The Icon" in September 2026; however that seems unlikely based on current status. The project is just one of many now rising in this part of Queens.
