Excavation work is being done at the development site of a future 7-story residential building at 30-78 29th St. in Astoria. The estimated completion of the building is set for the winter of 2025.

Demolition work was completed at the site, which was previously occupied by a single home, in the first half of 2024. Now, the area is blocked off by wooden fencing on the sidewalk, with the excavation work ongoing across the parcel. This work is expected to continue for the next few months. Those working on the property hope to begin foundation work just before the end of the year.

The completed structure will be 70 feet tall and yield 18,611 square feet of residential space. There will be 27 rental units there, averaging 689 square feet. The development will also have a cellar level, a 36-foot-long rear yard, and 14 open parking spaces.

This property is located within close proximity to the 30th Avenue subway station, which services the N and W trains.

The building was designed by James Cleary Architecture. Desmond Neill of Silverline Construction Management is listed as the owner of the property.

FDNY fights 2-alarm blaze in Rockaway Beach at BBQ joint with a rich history of a bygone era

The FDNY battled a two-alarm blaze at a restaurant in Rockaway Beach that stirred up some ghosts for residents of the neighborhood.

The fire broke out just after 7 p.m. at the Smoke and Barrel BBQ at 97-20 Rockway Beach Blvd., in the same location as the old Boggiano’s Bar and Grill. It stood for three-quarters of a century across from the entrance to Rockaway Beach’s Playland Amusement Park, which drew visitors from across the city to what was known as the Irish Riviera, an alternative to Coney Island on the Brooklyn side of Jamaica Bay.
