Controversal Architect Robert Scarano, known for designing practically every building to hit Brooklyn the last couple of years. Has now finally landed in Long Island City, and i have to say, im kind of excited. I think his designs are very innovative, modern and deffinately does not fall into the norm. His first LIC residential project is located on 2626 Jackson, and is about to get topped off this week. You cant miss it, its on the corner of Purves and Jackson Avenue, its supposed to house 43 units in all, and its actually a design he won an award for. Cant wait for the facade to show its face. Although this is his first residential project, this wont be his first, he also worked on a hotel on 43rd Avenue & Vernon as well as a small office building on 49th avenue, off of Vernon Blvd and next to Brasil Coffee House. Will keep you posted on the developments…
