Stimdel Properties<\/a>, an affiliate of Uruguay-based investment firm HC Corporation<\/a>, has filed plans to bring 612 new apartments to 12-12 33rd Avenue in Astoria, Queens, according to a rezoning application <\/a>filed with New York City\u2019s Department of City Planning last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The plans, filed by Stimdel, call for the construction of five mixed-use buildings, ranging from five to nine stories tall, with a total of 50,000 square feet of commercial and manufacturing space. A portion of the 612 units will be designated as affordable housing, according to the project description.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The site, located between 12th and 13th streets along 33rd Avenue in Queens, is currently home to several one-story industrial and office buildings. The landmarked Barkin, Levin & Company Office Pavilion building adjacent to the development site would also be \u201cretained\u201d as part of the project, according to the filing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe development site currently represents a nonconforming industrial use at the border of a residential area of Astoria,\u201d Stimdel wrote in its filing. \u201cThe rezoning would allow redevelopment of this underutilized block for a mix of uses, including local retail, community facility space and a substantial number of affordable housing units, that will blend with surrounding residential and community facility uses to create a cohesive neighborhood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project description doesn\u2019t include any information about proposed amenities for the residents. The application still needs to go through several steps ahead of approval, including a review by the City Planning Commission, a community board review and a review by the borough president.<\/p>\n

News of the filing comes after a pair of Queens-based developers \u2014 Dominick Acquista and Lorenzo Devardo \u2014 submitted plans last month to replace three industrial buildings at 31-29 Vernon Boulevard in Astoria with a new 20-story residential tower, as Commercial Observer reported at the time<\/a>.<\/p>\n
