RXR, Titan Machine Earn Public-Review Nod for LIC MXU

Queens Community Board 2 voted overwhelmingly to approve Titan Machine and RXR Realty’s zoning application for a commercial building at 42-11 9th St. in Long Island City. The mixed-use development will feature approximately 70,000 square feet of industrial space, 270,000 square feet of commercial office, and 2,900 square feet of ground-level retail.

The project is a partnership between Titan, an elevator manufacturing and repair company founded in LIC in 1973, and RXR, whose 25.5 million-square-foot portfolio includes the Standard Motor Products building in LIC.

“We are excited to partner with Titan on a commercial and industrial project that will signal confidence in New York’s future, strengthen the local Queens economy, and support its post-COVID-19 recovery,” said RXR SVP Jeffrey Nelson. 

Community Board review is the first formal stage of the city’s public review process, known as the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure. Next is review by the Queens Borough President.
