22-22 Jackson Avenue
ODA's signature residential building in Long Island City nears completion and awaits its first tenants.
Construction is wrapping up at the Gershon Company's 22-22 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City. Designed by the prolific firm ODA, the massing of the 11-story, 175-residential-unit mixed-use building features the firm's signature stacked forms in a playful jumble of ins and outs. Maroon framed windows are installed in the distinct boxes created by the exposed concrete structure. The massing also provides opportunities for residential terraces atop the protruding boxes but the maroon railings detract a bit from the purity of the massing diagram. Amenities for the project are housed in the two story base and include a lobby, lounge, library spaces, gym, indoor pool, and a landscaped courtyard on the 3rd floor roof deck. The project looks to be near ready for its first tenants.

Window installation continues at the Gershon Company's 22-22 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City. Designed by the prolific firm ODA, the 11-story, 175-residential-unit mixed-use building is composed of an exposed concrete exterior wall, now topped out. Maroon framed windows are installed in the distinct boxes created by the concrete structure. All but the top floor units have been installed. Amenities for the project are housed in the two story base and include a lobby, lounge, library spaces, gym, indoor pool, and a landscaped courtyard on the 3rd floor roof deck.

ODA's jumble of concrete boxes in Long Island City, 22-22 Jackson Avenue, has topped out. The 11-story, 175-residential-unit mixed-use building is composed of an exposed concrete exterior wall, a growing trend in New York. A playful massing of concrete residential modules randomly extrude from the facade on the north and east facades, while the south and west facades are more conventional flat surfaces. Window installation is also underway on site, with progress reaching the fifth floor. The windows feature a maroon frame. Amenities for the project are housed in the two story base and include a lobby, lounge, library spaces, gym, indoor pool, and a landscaped courtyard on the 3rd floor roof deck.

Concrete superstructure has surpassed the half way mark at ODA's boxy, 175-unit building in Long Island City. The 11-story mixed-use building is located next to the former 5 Pointz site and across from MoMA PS1. Made of cast-in-place concrete, the facade is constructed in a similar method to the exposed concrete of Vinoly's 432 Park Avenue supertall tower but with a more playful massing of residential modules that randomly extrude from the facade. Installation of the maroon-framed windows is also underway.

There is a mock-up on site at ODA's boxy residential project next to the 5 Pointz building in the Long Island City area of Queens. The signature protruding boxes on the facade will apparently be achieved with concrete that will be left exposed, similar to Vinoly's 432 Park Avenue tower currently rising in Midtown. Window frames will be of a maroon hue, an uncommon color choice for recent work in New York. Otherwise, progress on the actual building is still in the early stage of foundation work.
