Carter's Review
This building at 5-33 48th Street Avenue in Long Island City was formerly a zipper factory and was converted in 2019 to 41 condominium apartments by Circle F Capital.
SRA Architecture + Engineering designed the conversion.
Circle F Capital and SRA Architecture + Engineering are also involved in the construction of another condominium project, an 11-story, angled building nearby at 22-43 Jackson Avenue at 46th Avenue.
This red-brick factory building was expanded to a 7-story building with much of the top two floors given a glass façade while the rest of the building has multi-paned fenestration. It is known as The Zipper Building.
It is across from the Hunters Point Community Park and a short walk from the Gantry Plaza State Park and the Hunters Point South Ferry.
The Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue subway station is three blocks away.
Bottom Line
A well-located, mid-rise condo conversion in Long Island City, this building has good amenities and a convenient location.
