The Crossing at Jamaica Station

The Crossing at Jamaica Station is a mixed-use, mixed-income development in downtown Jamaica, Queens. One of the first major construction projects following the neighborhood's rezoning, the project occupies a central location at the corner of Archer Avenue and Sutphin Boulevard, across from the LIRR Jamaica Station. Proximity to major transportation routes connects residents to the greater urban environment, while ground-floor commercial retail and community facility spaces activate the surrounding context.

The first building in the development, a 600,000-square-foot, 28-story high-rise, contains 539 units and rises from a three-story retail and parking garage podium. The façade animates the urban streetscape with a vertical composition of light-colored, precast panels. The second, shorter building, a 170,000-square-foot, 14-story mid-rise, contains 130 units and will incorporate community facility space. Its façade is a horizontal composition of variegated brick and strip windows. Both buildings have a mix of studios to three-bedroom apartments. The project features private garden apartments at the setback above the podium, and tenant amenity spaces atop the podium and on the rooftops of both buildings.
