Heartfelt Townhouse Build files plans for 74-unit tower in Jamaica

A 14-story residential tower will rise at 143-24 94th Avenue in Jamaica, replacing a one-story building that has already been demolished. The project, filed by Joel Weiss of Heartfelt Townhouse Build, proposes 74 housing units spread across 42,463 square feet of floor space. With an average unit size of 573 square feet, the apartments are structured to function as rental properties.

The development replaces a single-story structure that stood on the site for years. Demolition permits for that previous building were filed in July, clearing the ground for the new vertical construction. The new building will reach a height of 145 feet and include a rear yard measuring 66 feet in length. JFA Architects and Engineers DPC is listed as the architect of record for the project.

The site sits within walking distance of multiple public transit hubs. Residents and commuters have access to the Jamaica Long Island Railroad station. The Sutphin Boulevard/Archer Avenue-JFK Airport subway station, which serves the E, J, and Z lines, is also nearby. A dense network of bus lines serves the area, including the Q6, Q8, Q9, Q20, Q24, Q25, Q41, Q44-SBS, Q60, Q65, and Q112 routes.

Local amenities are integrated into the immediate neighborhood. The Howard Von Dohlen Playground and Gateway Park are located in close proximity to the address. P.S. 50Q The Talfourd Lawn Elementary School is also situated near the development, serving families in the surrounding blocks.

Construction details indicate a dense, urban footprint designed to maximize housing density in a transit-rich zone. No estimated completion date has been provided in the filed permits. The project stands as a vertical shift for a block previously occupied by low-rise structures.
