The new development, at the corner of 48th Street and Greenpoint Avenue, has been in progress since 2015. AB Capstone, the developer, told the Sunnyside Post that the building underwent a new design recently, as the prior design was deemed “too generic.”
The project includes 10 units and commercial space in the first two floors, to be occupied by medical offices. The ground floor will hold a yet-to-be specified urgent care center, while the second floor will house a medical provider.
The development is expected to be completed by the end of 2018.
