Carter's Review

This handsome, 27-story residential condominium building at 27-21 44th Drive in the Court Square section of Long Island City was erected in 2017 by Silvercup Properties, of which Alan and Stuart Suna of Silvercup Studios and Mark Gold are principals.

The building is called the Harrison, after Harry Suna, who built Silvercup Studios near the Queensboro Bridge. 

The Sunas built the 76-unit market-rate condominium development known as the Industry at 21-45 44th Drive in 2011 and its long-planned Silvercup West mixed-use project along the East River is moving forward and its polluted site is expended to be cleaned up by the end of 2017, according to a September 23, 2016 article in The New York Times by C. J. Hughes.

It was designed by GP55 Partners.

It has 120 apartments and is convenient to subways.

According to the Times article, the developer originally planned to call the project the Edison in “homage of the products made by the Eagle Electric Manufacturing Company…but the Hotel Edison in Times Square asked Silvercup to discontinue the name to avoid confusing potential hotel guests,” adding that “there is another condo called the Harrison, on West 76th Street in Manhattan,” but its management had not been touch about the name.
