set to rise in Astoria.
Located at 40-17 28th Ave., the
site was home to a one-story auto

approved in March and the demolition
occurred last month. According to city
records, the new structure will be a

The ground floor is reserved for
a 7,113 square-foot restaurant and
the second and third floors will house
community facility space, which can
include medical facilities, libraries,
child care centers, community centers,
colleges and more. The developer,
Fernando Magalhaes of 40-17 28
Avenue LLC, was not available for
comment.
The building, designed by Bluarch
