Sequels have to be bigger and badder than their originals to be successful, and don't think the Rockrose Development Corporation doesn't know that. The company's EastCoast project—a group of rental and condo towers in the Queens West chunk of Long Island City—had its first building open about a year ago, and even though the original is 100% leased, the Rockrose gang still decided to step up their game in both design and amenities for Phase 2. The second rental building is a 31-story tower officially known as 4705 Center Boulevard but referred to by anybody who's anybody as East Coast 2, and it's set to open any minute now. In addition to being the building that will finally bring Queens West its long-awaited grocery store, East Coast 2 will also provide Rockroseians with a parking garage, gym, lap pool and various other good-time activities. East Coast 3, a condo building, is currently under construction just northwest of EC2. Seven East Coast buildings are planned in total.

After getting through this, you'll feel like you already live there. >>

Rockrose Blesses LIC With Amish Market

2007_9_amishlic.jpgLate yesterday, word came via our sister site Racked that one of the biggest remaining reasons to hate on the Queens West chunk of Long Island City—no grocery store, dude!—is no more. Apparently there are supermarkets in this world other than Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, because broker Andrew Fine reported on his blog that Rockrose has a deal to stick an Amish Market in the coming East Coast Phase 2 rental building at Center Boulevard and 47th Avenue. Eat that, FreshDirect! A little more research shows that Nest Seekers broker Eric Benaim posted the news on his blog on August 30, pointing out that this Amish Market replaces the Jubilee that was supposed to go in ECP2. Supermarket, Starbucks—what's next, LIC, a Pinkberry? Don't go becoming a regular neighborhood on us.
