71-17 Roosevelt will be LIC-style "luxury rental"

I've been in downtown Flushing a lot lately. Today, it seemed to me that there must be a place they are just handing out bricks and having people just start towering them up.

It's truly incredible the number of cranes in say a 10 block radius.
There's also an uncanny ability to plop many stories on top of a raggedy old building.

I think this building has reached full height now. I walked by earlier along Roosevelt and it really doesn't seem as massive as I thought it would be. It may have just been the view I had from where I was walking, other blocks may appear differently.

It looks like the retail space on Roosevelt is up for lease already:

One of the two images is labeled as a "community facility entrance". Does anyone know of a community organization going in this building?

I do believe it has topped out. Here is the view of if from one of our listings at Sheila Terrace:

Honestly, whenever I catch a glance of it from the corner of my eye as I exit the 73rd subway , I shudder...Part of me doesn't believe it, It looks sooo very LIC. So out of place here.
