Willow Court helps prove that low lot coverage can pay in Jackson Heights
According to the Landmarks Commission, Willow Court and the Plymouth Apartments showed the Queensboro Corporation that covering just 58 percent of a lot, well below the 70 percent the law allowed, was financially sound. After that success the company began Wells's Greystone Apartments in 1916, and in 1917 it announced Linden Court by Andrew Jackson Thomas, moving toward whole-block garden apartment designs.
“With the Plymouth Apartments and Willow Court, Queensboro had proved that substantially reduced lot coverage ... was a financially sound and profitable policy.”
