The owner of the Queens Boulevard building that once housed an Entenmann’s bakery outlet took a significant step last week toward developing the site.

The developer filed plans on Sept. 20 to tear down the one-story structure at 70-50 Queens Blvd., located within a roughly 20,000 square foot lot.

The lot, which includes the building and adjacent parking lot, and with its building still showing the “bakery outlet” lettering, has been a used car dealership since it was sold off last summer.

The buyer, according to property records, is listed as the Chetrit Group, the large–yet obscure–real estate developer behind several major projects citywide. It purchased the Entenmann’s bakery outlet site for $11.8 million, and is also the owner of the former Queens Motor Inn motel on Queens Boulevard, slated for development.

The Chetrit Group did not immediately return a message seeking information on the two projects.

New building filings have not been submitted for the Entenmann’s location, but the site can accommodate a roughly 72,500 square foot as-of-right development. Surrounding buildings with the same zoning indicate that the upcoming development could be just over 10 stories.

The former Motor Inn, meanwhile, has since been demolished, but no permits have been issued for its development yet.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
