This is Citigroup's second tallest building(LIC II) in Queens which is built adjacent to its first tallest building(LIC I) in Queens. Court Square Two was designed as a podium structure, which will allow Citi to expand the building to a height of 38-stories at some point in the future, should it so choose.

There is 490,000 square feet of interiors work, including 300,000 square feet of office space across ten floors. Most of the offices are on the perimeter of the building, but glass walls will allow natural light to penetrate deep into the cubicles on the interior of each floor. Citi hopes to reduce its water consumption by twenty percent (and save over 1 million gallons of water each year) thanks to the building’s graywater system, and its high-performance mechanical, electrical, and HVAC systems should reduce energy consumption by twelve percent over conventional construction. Seventy-five percent of construction waste was diverted from landfills.
