A 560-unit residential tower at 35-10 Steinway Street in Astoria, Queens, is readying for groundbreaking, according to New York YIMBY, which reviewed the project's permit filings and renderings.
The project sits in Astoria's Steinway Street corridor, a stretch of western Queens that has absorbed a wave of large residential filings over the past year as developers chase the neighborhood's rezoned blocks near the N and W lines. New York YIMBY's report does not name a general contractor for the job, and no construction-related permit tied to vertical work at the address appears in the city's public permit data yet — the project is at the pre-groundbreaking stage, not under construction.
That timing matters for subs and suppliers working the corridor: a 560-unit building is a multi-year job that will need foundation, structural, mechanical and finish trades in sequence, and the pre-groundbreaking window is exactly when a GC is still lining up its subcontractor list. Astoria has seen several projects of this scale move through planning and permitting in recent months, and Steinway Street in particular has become one of the more active residential pipelines in the borough outside the waterfront.
New York YIMBY's report did not include a project cost, a developer name, or an expected completion date. The RFI Wire could not independently confirm those details as of this writing.
What to do next
If you're chasing early-stage work in Astoria, watch the DOB permit system for a new-building or foundation permit at 35-10 Steinway Street — that filing will name the GC and the estimated construction cost, and it's the trigger for subcontractor outreach to begin in earnest. Until that permit posts, treat this as a site to track, not a job to price.
