A deed recorded with the City Register on November 10 conveys Queens block 550, lot 7 from Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens, Inc. to ICL Astoria Housing Development Fund Corporation for $28,300,000. The instrument is dated October 22, 2026, and carries CRFN 2026000319230.
The club’s Astoria headquarters sits at 21-12 30th Road. The record we pulled identifies the parcel by tax lot, not street address, so the address match rests on the club’s published redevelopment plans.

Why it matters
Large Astoria sites rarely trade as clean, single-lot deeds, and this one moves a nonprofit’s flagship parcel to a housing development fund corporation, a buyer type used in affordable housing deals. For builders, lenders and brokers working outer-borough affordable projects, the deed is the first clear marker that the club’s long-planned redevelopment is moving from announcement to ownership transfer.
The deed alone does not say what the buyer will build. Coverage from April 2025 described a redevelopment of the headquarters into a clubhouse of about 125,000 square feet with 236 affordable apartments, a $293 million budget as stated then, and the Institute of Community Living providing services to former foster youth. That coverage did not name a developer or contractor. We have not verified that the buyer entity is tied to that project or to the Institute of Community Living, and we do not state that here.

What’s next
Watch for financing and regulatory filings on the same lot. Any mortgage, building permit or housing finance filing would show how the purchase is capitalized and what is planned. We have not used same-day loan documents on this lot in this report because they were not confirmed against the deed. Readers tracking nearby activity can compare it with the earlier Astoria Boulevard deed and the wider New York market coverage.
The deed amount and parties come from the City Register record. Earlier project details come from the cited April 2025 report and may have changed since.
