For years, artists had been using an abandoned building at 45-46 Davis St. in Long Island City as a canvas. But owners G&M Realty decided to tear the structure down to build two apartment towers. In 2013, the building was whitewashed overnight and in 2014 it was torn down. In its place, G&M Realty will construct two towers – one 47 stories and the other 41 stories tall – with close to 1,000 rental apartments, 32,000 square feet of outdoor public space and 50,000 square feet of retail space between them. Jerry Wolkoff , co-founder of G&M Realty, said he would reserve space for graffi ti artists to display their work, and renderings show the hallways and lounges adorned with graffi ti. Th e plans will also include about 12,000 square feet for artist studios and 223 aff ordable units between both apartments. Th e buildings will also include a pool, fi tness center and shared lounge. Artists and 5Pointz fans were angered and disappointed when the original building was whitewashed overnight. Th ey held rallies and signed petitions to try to keep the building up but were unsuccessful. In March, a Brooklyn judge ruled that artists who had previously fi led a suit against G&M Realty could proceed with the case in front of a jury. In 2015, more than a dozen artists fi led a lawsuit against the Wolkoff family claiming that the property’s owner committed an illegal act by painting over their work without giving them enough warning to take it down and save it. Th ey evoked the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990, which states that protections against destruction of works are aff orded to authors who create art of “recognized stature.” Th e new buildings are slated to be complete by the end of 2017. Renderings via Mojo Stumer Associates Two apartment buildings will be constructed at the former 5Pointz site.
