With Astoria Cove on Hold, Alma Turns to Long Island City

LONG ISLAND CITY – Developer Alma Realty Corp. recently put its plans for the Astoria Cove project on hold, but having secured a $34.2 million loan from Deutsche Bank, the company has embarked on a long-awaited project, a development in next-door Long Island City consisting of two 17-story buildings, a swimming pool, daycare facilities, and a medical office, the Real Deal reported.
