Construction is rapidly moving along at 43-30 24th Street, a large 66-story residential skyscraper in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by Hill West Architects and developed by Carmel Partners, the 731-foot-tall tower will yield 921 units spread across 838,000 square feet and 17,400 square feet of ground-floor commercial retail space. Carmel Construction East is the general contractor for the property, which is bound by 43rd Avenue to the north, 44th Road to the south, 24th Street to the east, and 23rd Street to the west.

Recent photographs show the massive reinforced concrete superstructure and safety cocoon netting rising swiftly over the neighborhood thanks to the repetitive set of floors, columns, and walls.
