Carter's Review
4540 Center Boulevard is a very handsome, waterfront rental building in Long Island City in the East Coast development owned by TF Cornerstone.
Constructed in 2012, the 32-floor rental contains 345 apartments that feature floor-to-ceiling windows. Residences, which range from studios to three-bedroom units, have kitchens and bathrooms equipped with top-of-the-line fixtures.
Additional TF Cornerstone rentals on the 21-acre site include 4545 Center Boulevard, 4615 Center Boulevard, 4720 Center Boulevard and 4610 Center Boulevard.
Bottom Line
Less architecturally gymnastic than its fellow East Coast towers, this very attractive building seems a bit straight-laced but its conservatism is appropriate for its prominent location and overwhelming vistas.
Description
The building has many corner balconies and is a little to the north of the giant Pepsi sign.
The sheer tower is setback atop a one-story brown masonry base with a multi-sided glass shaft that penetrates the lobby.
The building has a very large and handsome glass and steel entrance marquee with a revolving door.
The tower’s balconies are stack in 6-story groups at the building’s corner.
