The Queensboro Corporation starts Cambridge Court while new state tax breaks spur building
Cambridge Court, this building among its fourteen, was begun in 1922 as one of the yearly garden apartment projects the Queensboro Corporation launched in Jackson Heights. State laws passed in 1920 and 1923 exempted newly built housing from real estate taxes for ten years, and Metropolitan Life Insurance had lent Queensboro almost $8,000,000 by 1922.
