For a while, LICNYC has taken the view that the land of the future is North LIC.

For example, here is where the new Queens Public Library is, north of the bridge (nevermind that local LICers have been pleading for one near the Queens West buildings):

There are three major new condo buildings next to the Met Life building on Queens Plaza (again, nevermind the Scandals gentleman's club right next door!). And one of the Nestseeker's brokers apparently thinks that Marriott is planning a big hotel for the site of the Vault night club, also on Queens Plaza.

And have you taken a train past the huge station project they are building there lately? They are deep into the ground and have the tunnel underway too. It's a few years still, but that big station that connects LIRR and Metro-North is going to be a game-changer.
