At 44th road, a short, sign-less warehouse formerly used by Bergdorf Goodman currently stands abandoned. The interior and roof have undergone asbestos abatement in preparation for the buildings’ eventual demolition. Current plans are to replace it with a 66 floor apartment high rise. While this building isn’t particularly special, it is symbolic of the dramatic changes taking place in Long Island City. today.
