LONG ISLAND CITY — Another towering building is planned for Court Square.

A developer plans to build a 66-story, 703-foot-tall apartment tower on 24th Street off 44th Road, according to plans filed with the Department of Buildings last week — the latest of several high-rise projects slated for the area.

Stawski Partners are planning to build 921 apartments at the 43-30 24th St. site, according to city records. The building will also include an indoor pool and a gym on the third floor and retail space on the first, the plans show.

The Real Deal first reported on the project.

The planned tower is one of several very tall buildings in the works near Court Square and Queens Plaza.

Another developer, United Construction and Development Group, is planning a 78-story, 964-foot tower at 23-15 44th Dr. just a block away. Once completed, it would be the tallest building in Queens, surpassing the 49-story Citigroup building which currently holds that title.

A short distance away in Queens Plaza, Property Markets Group plans to build a tower standing more than 70 stories high and with more than 900 apartments.

Stawski Partners did not immediately return requests for comment about their plans.
