Carter's Review

This very prominent building at 4610 Center Boulevard on the East River in Long Island City is behind the famous Pepsi-Cola sign.

The 26-story structure was erected by T.F. Cornerstone in 2014 as part of its EastCoast development and it has 584 rental apartments.

It was designed by Arquitectonica, the Miami-based architectural firm responsible for many fine flamboyant residential buildings in Miami.

Yabu Pushelberg was the interior designer.

In addition to the surrounding waterfront park, there is a K-8 public school, a pharmacy, and a food market within walking distance.

Bottom Line

Directly behind the famous Pepsi-Cola sign across the East River from the United Nations complex, this blue-glass rental apartment tower has numerous apartments with large, curved living/dining rooms and its south wall is a rich tapestry of balconies.

Description

The main tower of this L-shaped building is slightly cantilevered at its west end and its north façade has quite a few less balconies than its south façade whose many, widely spaced balconies make the façade a shimmering and impressive architectural brocade.

Amenities

The building has a 24-hour concierge, a fitness center, a club room, and a garden.

Apartment 20 on floors 9 through 25 and the penthouse is a northeast corner, three-bedroom unit with a 21-foot-wide living/dining room with a curved wall with access to a large curved balcony and an open kitchen next to the entry foyer.

Apartment 20 on floors 3 through 7 is a one-bedroom unit with a curved, 22-foot-long, living/dining room at the building’s northeast corner.
