Woodside Building Upsized From One to Four Stories

37-55 61st Street, a one-story brick building (Google)

Oct. 29, 2019 By Christian Murray

A small commercial building on 61st Street in Woodside is going to get a whole lot bigger.

A developer has filed plans to convert a one-story building at 37-55 61st Street into a four-story mixed-use complex. The building will have ground floor commercial space with 11 apartments on the upper floors.

The complex will be 40 feet tall, up from the existing 12 feet. The current white-brick building, which went up in 1958, is sandwiched between two apartment buildings.

The property was purchased for $3,230,000 in May by Thanh Truong of 37-55 61st LLC.

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
