Long Island City is Turning Japanese

The details are trickling out about the planned Jackson Avenue hotel, following yesterday’s announcement of the sale of five parcels of land. Itzhaki Properties brokered the sale $17.75 million sale, and the adjacent properties are listed as 2405, 2409, 2411-2415, 2417 and 2419 Jackson Avenue. that puts the future hotel just a block absent from the Citicorp tower, and we’re told the purchase was made by a “Japanese hotel group.” A search of property records reveals all: the buyer is Toyoko Inn, a massive budget hotel chain. We’ve become instantly obsessed with Toyoko’s website, and have included some of their

current hotels in the graphic above. Uniformity rules! So what do they have planned for hip, on-the-rise LIC? No renderings yet, but they’ll have 170,000 square feet to work with.
