We recently reported on Manhattan's and Brooklyn's tallest buildings on the rise and now on to Queens. Skyline Tower, the 67-story luxury Long Island City condominium building, will rise nearly 800 feet to be the tallest building in the borough. The project just launched its first 20 listings yesterday (out of a total of 802) as a preview to its official sales launch and sales gallery opening later this spring (h/t Curbed). The 20 units range from studio to three-bedrooms and are offered from the mid-$600,000’s to $2.3 million.
In this article:
The homes’ range in square footage from 405 to 1,326 square feet. With floor-to-ceiling windows, the units will be flooded with light and panoramic views. Each residence is outfitted with top-line residential finishes and high-end flooring and countertops. Floors 3-37 will house studio to two bedrooms, floors 38-63 will go up to three bedrooms, and floors 64-47 will house one- to four-bedroom penthouses.
The amenities include a bi-level spa facility with his-and-her locker rooms, a 75-foot indoor pool, Whirlpool spa, cedar plank-lined sauna, steam room, and treatment room. There is also a yoga/pilates studio, a social room with kitchen and terrace, a children’s playroom, and a pet spa. The building’s double-height lobby will have a full-time doorman and concierge. There is also a business center, kitchenette, and outdoor terrace, as well as a laundry room available. Residents can also access private valet parking and storage units.
The building was designed by
Hill West and is being developed by United Construction & Development Group, FSA Capital, and Risland US Holdings LLC. It sits right across from One Court Square, where Amazon had originally planned to move some tenants before its final location was ready. According to the project team, Skyline Tower saw "an influx in interest during the Amazon HQ2" planning and became the first building in Queens to break a $1 billion sellout.
Sales are being handled by Modern Spaces. The tower is nearing its 30th floor and is expected to be complete in 2021.
