A taxi garage on Jackson Avenue in Long Island City will become yet another residential building in the quickly developing neighborhood.

Plans were filed last Saturday for an 11-story, 175-unit condo building at 22-12 Jackson Ave. Adam America acquired the land last June for $43.5 million from plastics manufacturer Plaxell, according to The Real Deal.

The 169,832-square-foot space will also include 6,668 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor. Amenities will include a pool on the first floor, a gym and children’s playroom and a rooftop recreation place. The building is also minutes away from MoMA PS1 and Court Square.

Apartments throughout each floor will vary. The second floor will hold 19 units, 22 units will occupy the third through fifth floors, and 21 apartments will be housed in the sixth floor. The seventh floor will hold 17 units, while the floor above will house 16. The ninth through 11th floors will hold 12 units.

The building will also be bicycle-friendly with storage space for 91 bicycles on the first and second floors.

Issac & Stern Architects is the architect on record.
