As the U.S. Open culminates, visitors to its grounds will notice Flushing's burgeoning skyline just off in the distance. Near the western gateway of the neighborhood is Tangram House, a transformative 1.2 million square foot development composed of condominium residences, retail, office, and hotel space. This week, the “East meets West” development team led by F&T Group and SCG America announced that the 192 residences of Tangram's first phase are now 95% sold.
Remaining listings include a pair of three-bedroom penthouses asking $2,966,120 and $2,722,930 each. A smaller, ninth-floor three-bedroom is also available for $1,919,050. The average price per square foot of remaining homes is $1,243, well below the overall Manhattan condo listing average of $1,674 / ft².

Tangram House's design is rooted in Asian architecture, but the developers also wanted the project to be an "ode to Flushing" and include some Europeans influences. Its design by award-winning firm JG Neukomm Architecture in collaboration with Margulies Hoelzli Architecture is inspired by the traditional Chinese dissection puzzle called tans. Interior designer, Jean-Gabriel Neukomm, selected classic, European-sourced materials and juxtaposed them with contemporary design techniques. Natural materials and organic motifs are used throughout to unwind residents from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Tangram House offers residents a variety amenities including a pavilion at the centerpiece of a one-acre walking garden inspired by a traditional Japanese teahouse. Other perks include a bike room, children's playroom, recreation room, on-site parking, fitness center, and a swimming pool.
