Blue Brick Real Estate is pleased to exclusively present 64-17 & 64-19 Metropolitan Avenue, a premier mixed-use development opportunity located in the heart of Middle Village, Queens. This rare assemblage offers approximately 80 feet of frontage along Metropolitan Avenue, providing developers with the opportunity to construct a landmark mixed-use project in one of Queens' most supply-constrained neighborhoods.
The property qualifies for enhanced development potential, allowing for approximately 22,082 total buildable square feet, including approximately 17,582 residential buildable square feet and 4,500 commercial buildable square feet. Based on the current zoning analysis, the site can accommodate approximately 26 residential units above ground-floor commercial space, making it ideally suited for either condominium or multifamily rental development.
A significant catalyst for future appreciation is the proposed Interborough Express (IBX), New York City's transformative light rail project connecting Brooklyn and Queens.
Future Transit Enhancement: The property is located just minutes from the planned Interborough Express (IBX) Metropolitan Avenue Station, proposed near Metropolitan Avenue and 69th Street. The IBX will provide direct transit connections between Brooklyn and Queens, significantly improving regional accessibility and further enhancing the long-term value of this development opportunity.
The assemblage also benefits from waived residential parking requirements, allowing developers to maximize residential floor area while reducing construction costs and increasing overall project efficiency. Combined with its exceptional frontage, flexible development potential, and strategic location, the site offers an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to replicate within the Queens market.
Situated along the vibrant Metropolitan Avenue corridor, the property enjoys outstanding visibility and is surrounded by established residential neighborhoods, neighborhood retail, restaurants, parks, and schools. Residents will benefit from convenient access to public transportation, major highways, and nearby commercial districts including Forest Hills, Ridgewood, Maspeth, and Williamsburg.
Development opportunities of this scale are exceptionally rare in Middle Village. The combination of substantial residential density, valuable commercial frontage, future transit enhancements through the Interborough Express, and a premier location positions 64-17 & 64-19 Metropolitan Avenue as one of the most compelling mixed-use development opportunities currently available in Queens.
