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.

Mar. 28, 2023 By Bill Parry

As an accomplished legislator, law professor and media personality with broad experience in government and not-for-profit organizations, Met Council CEO and executive director David Greenfield is well aware of the power of words. With Passover arriving on Wednesday, April 5, and with federal pandemic food assistance no longer available to low-income families in Queens, the leader of the nation’s largest Jewish charity organization warned of a coming “catastrophe” and called for the city to step up to provide $13 million in emergency funding for pantries to help New Yorkers facing food insecurity and elevated costs of living in the borough.

Pair of Queens community organizations will activate public spaces to celebrate local cultures

Two Queens community organizations are among an inaugural cohort of five groups citywide that will lead new projects to celebrate local cultures and histories in public spaces under a new initiative called The Local Center in a partnership between Urban Design Forum and the Association for Neighborhood & Housing Development (ANHD).

At a time when New York is grappling with an uneven pandemic recovery and as displacement looms large for communities and neighborhoods across the five boroughs, this new endeavor will convene interdisciplinary teams to transform and activate the shared spaces where cultural traditions flourish — and importantly, center the community visions and leadership that is too often left out of the process.
