GALERIE, 22-18 Jackson Avenue: Review and Ratings

Review of 22-18 Jackson Avenue by Carter Horsley

This impressive, 11-story apartment building at 22-18 Jackson Avenue between Crane and Arch streets in the Court Square section of Long Island City was erected in 2018 by Adam America and MSD Partners and has 175 condominium apartments.

It is known as Galerie.

It was designed by ODA, which is headed by Eran Chen, and is adjacent to another building by that architectural firm at 22-22 Jackson Avenue.

Paris Forino Design is the interior designer.

This building is directly across from MOMA PS1.

The building has a curated art program for residents and community through its

ArtBox, a permanent street-level rotating art exhibit and a sculpture garden with work by

Brooklyn based artist Allen Glatter.

The developers paid $43.5 million in 2015 for a taxi garage on the site.
