7-Story Commercial Mixed-Use Project Proposed in LIC

National auto parts retailer, Parts Authority, is proposing a 7-story, commercial mixed-use project, at 21-17 37th Avenue in Long Island City, Queens. Submitted by company executive, Yaron Rosenthal, the application requests a Zoning Map Amendment, which would rezone two neighboring lots to form the project site.

The ground floor of the building would feature 8,389 square feet of retail space, primarily consisting of a Parts Authority store location, supplemented by smaller, local shops. Above this, floors 2-5 would offer 65,612 square feet of light manufacturing space, while floors 6-7 would provide 13,853 square feet of office space.

The building would also feature a cellar and a sub-cellar, containing an enclosed parking garage, with enough room for 58 vehicles. Plans additionally call for 2-loading berths at street level. Designed by M.S. Savini Architects, the structure would total 119,854 square feet altogether and stand 113 feet tall.

If ultimately approved, two commercial buildings would need to be demolished in order to make way for the new development. The review process is estimated to take around 18-24 months, with a 6-month timeline for the public review stage. Construction would then take approximately 18 months, meaning that we'd likely see the project complete sometime in 2026.
