The predominantly industrial Queens emerged as a top market for office construction activity in 2019<\/a> and has been slowly, yet boldly, changing its architectural blueprint. Although the coronavirus-induced halt on nonessential services temporarily stalled construction activity<\/a>, developers still managed to complete some 1.5 million square feet of office space year-to-date through August, according to Yardi Matrix data. This includes Tishman Speyer\u2019s 1.2 million-square-foot The Jacx, the second-largest office project in the market.<\/p>\n

Two properties encompassing 90,000 square feet broke ground in 2020, and close to 962,000 square feet across seven properties were underway as of August. Most projects are redevelopments and expansions of former warehouses, a trend that neighboring Brooklyn has been experiencing as well. The lower-density Long Island City submarket led development activity due to its proximity to Manhattan. The list below highlights the top office projects underway in the market as of August, based on Yardi Matrix data.<\/p>\n
