Court Square Two.
Won't hold my breath for the additional 20 floors.

There's something non-NYC about this pic.

Sterile office park. The only thing missing a parking lot around it.

No sign of life.

Is Long Island City part of Stamford?

Well, the HDR makes it look like it's part of Second Life.

Always so negative about LIC. Anyway, here's some other photos of goings on around town:

Speaking of "goings on around town". I noticed that the last photo in the set depicts a small island in the middle of the east river (Brother Island I think) and thier seems to be some sort of excavation work going on: it looks like the entire surface is being torn up - any news on 'what is going on there".

That's going to be the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park.

Hey, now that's news : (to me anyway) thanks for the link. The voice-over audio remarks regarding 'free speach,,ect.' is an uplifting message.

AKA the Kahn Memorial. I lived on RI for a little more than a year, and I really liked the "raw" version of the south end of the island. I guess the memorial is ok, but I would rather see the kind of park there going on on the northern side of the memorial. I don't have photos, but they've completed cleanup at the rest of the Rockrose site and have started foundations for the next tower. 400 ft, 41 stories, and 361 apartments, I believe. This might be the oddball tower with the rounded edge. Unsure.

Nice shots RoldanTTLB! Loving the work on Hunters Point South, they are moving along. That old bank on the tennis property came down in like 2 days.

Ya heard! Roldan reppin the Citylights views!

I *might* be scouting new apartments. If and when I end up in other buildings looking down on other things, I'll be sure to take photos. I'm waiting for the skin on Gehry to wrap up to head on back up to the top floor of my office for shots. The guys up there were a little weirded out the last time I just showed up to take photos.

I know the key word here is MIGHT: but photos, links & other news items on LIC would be greatly appreciated - I subscribe to this LIC thread and always look forward to your posts. Thanks again for the pics.
