Walking around Courthouse Square this morning with a fellow LIC real estate obsessive, liQcity learned that this beautiful old building (along with the gigantic, adjacent parking lot behind it) at the corner of 44th Rd and Crescent St, right next to the United Nations Federal Credit Union, is being torn down to make way for a 42 story, 704 unit Rockrose rental building. Nice that it’s rentals - wish the price was as nice. Super lux apartments with fancy trimmings (expect any less?) - studios start at $2100/mo.
