While many new Long Island City condominiums go for an industrial look as a nod to the neighborhood's history, the Zipper Building's authenticity takes it to a new level. The eight-story building is named for its past use as a zipper factory, and designer SRA Architecture + Engineering kept many historic features like its factory windows and red brick facade. Sales have just launched on the apartments within.

On-site parking is available for purchase, though it may not be strictly necessary with the Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue 7 subway stop and the Hunters Point South ferry stop so close. Midtown Manhattan is only one stop away, but a thriving community can be found close to home. Hunters Point Community Park is right across the street, Gantry Plaza State Park is a few blocks away, and Vernon Boulevard’s diverse dining options are at the end of the street.
A recently accepted offering plan lists a $56.95 million sellout. To that end, prices start at $680K for studios, $870K for one-bedrooms, $1.18 million for two-bedrooms, and $1.88 million for three-bedrooms.
