    Roosevelt Terrace's developer, Riverbank Realty Corp., filed a separate new-building application (NB 6957-1952) for 35-20 to 35-50 85th Street, a fourth E-shaped, nine-story building across the street from the complex's other three. Designed like them by Philip Birnbaum and completed with the project in 1954, it has its own playground, with a garage under the north end of the lot.
