Overview of The Powerhouse Yard at 2 50th Avenue

The Powerhouse Yard is a 12-story condominium located in Long Island City, completed in 2011. It features 82 apartments ranging from studios to two-bedroom units. The building was developed by Cheskel Schwimmer and Ziggy Brach of Chess Buildings and designed by Karl Fischer. The Yard is situated in a prime location, just a block away from Gantry Park and close to the Vernon-Jackson subway station and the East River Ferry dock.

The building's design includes a gray-brick façade with sections of red-brick, a setback, and many balconies. The lobby is uniquely designed with reclaimed wood from old rail yards and features a seating area in front of a wall of climbing vines. The Yard offers a variety of amenities, including a doorman, fitness center, rooftop deck with barbecue pits, cold storage, on-site parking, valet services, bike storage, and a residents' lounge. The third-floor outdoor garden includes hopscotch, swings, and a see-saw, while the roof deck features a life-size chessboard.

Apartments in The Yard are equipped with solid oak wood floors, double insulated windows, Italian ceramic tile, and custom kitchens with stainless steel appliances. Notable units include a studio with a 15-foot-wide living area, a two-bedroom unit with a 23-foot-wide living/dining area and balcony, and a one-bedroom unit with a 17-foot-long living/dining room and balcony. Many units also feature in-unit washers and dryers, Caesarstone countertops, and ample closet space.

The Yard is known for its vibrant community atmosphere, with communal terraces named "Play" and "Live" that encourage social interaction and relaxation. The building's location offers easy access to local amenities such as restaurants, shops, and parks, making it a desirable place to live in Long Island City. Despite its modern amenities and design, the building maintains a relaxed and inviting atmosphere, appealing to those seeking a balance between luxury and comfort.
