Queens: Good Things Are on the Horizon

Developers and a Queens official discussed what’s happening in the borough, and its future.

NEW YORK CITY—Though Queens is filled with unique areas that each have their own character—along with varying degrees of appeal for real estate developers and investors—there’s one thing they have in common: potential.

In a panel discussion on the borough, hosted by CREW New York during its monthly luncheon  in Midtown earlier this week, real estate industry experts on Flushing, Astoria, Long Island City and more brought the strengths of their communities to light. At the same time, the group also talked about what’s needed to make already hot areas soar as well as the steps that could put other sections of Queens on the map.
