It would be great to see more great diverse restaurants. I would also like to see more modern retail stores (not old guard shopping mall stores) and health clinics. I can't wait to see what is in store!

Absolutely! I think a project like this would be great for the community. A true live/work/shop environment could revitalize the local economy, fill vacant properties, and provide much-needed open/green space for the public. Making this development a destination in Queens will increase foot traffic and be a boon for smaller, locally-owned businesses. Seems like a creative use of space that will create jobs and enhance the quality of life for local residents.

Absolutely 100%. Unlike some of the other commenters here I see a NEED for this type of development as well as multiple benefits to it.

Absolutely. The area of this proposed development is largely unsightly warehouses and under-performing businesses. There is no open space, it's unattractive to foot traffic, and it's not serving the areas housing needs as well as it could. I hope a project like this will address many of those things and lead to a total revitalization and revolution of lower Steinway and Northern Blvd.

This may be one of the most important initiatives our community has ever had the opportunity to be part of. As a business owner and Kiwanis community supporter since 1995 I have seen and been on the roller coaster ride Astoria has endured. Steinway street along with many others has suffered and are no longer what they were. A project like this is a game changer and desperately needed. Especially now that so many folks and businesses have and are suffering with post covid consequences. The studios have always brought great value to all of us and I am extremely appreciative and excited that they continue to do so.

Absolutely. I think this development is much-needed for South Steinway, which is getting increasingly dilapidated by the day. We need to avoid urban decay and this is a great way to accomplish that. I know there are many people saying "what about small businesses?", but the problem is that nowadays South Steinway is NOT an attractive place for a small business owner to open up shop. What mom-and-pop wants to open up a store when vacancies abound? This development will make South Steinway more attractive for new small businesses, and be a boon to the existing small businesses.

Absolutely. We need development like this to increase the tax base of the city (especially after Covid) - all the more welcome given the significant amount of brand new affordable housing.
