Astoria Lights #B1 via Compass

Tuesday, Apr 7, 2020 By CityRealty Staff, CityRealty contributor

While much of Astoria’s new development has been devoted to the new condominiums that have taken neighboring Long Island City by storm, there is another, highly attractive way to buy in the area. The four-building Astoria Lights cooperative dates back to 1929, but has been updated to meet the needs and wishes of the contemporary buyer. Six months after the sales launch, 70 percent of units have already sold.

Updates to the apartments include new 8’ doors, Emtek hardware, LED lighting, in-unit washer/dryers, sleek marble baths, and new German kitchens with Caesarstone countertops and sleek Bosch appliances. However, developer RockFarmer Properties is going one step further and combining some of the remaining apartments into grand-scale three- to four-bedroom units with highly unique layouts and architectural details.

“We are excited to be able to offer buyers an alternative to the more expensive townhomes in the area without compromising on space.” - Tom Le, Corcoran

The newly combined units are not yet on the market, but current availabilities span one-bedrooms from $495K to a two-bedroom for $699K. For comparison's sake, the median prices of similarly sized Manhattan co-ops are $699K and $1.4 million, respectively.

Whatever size apartment Astoria Lights residents live in, they have access to a new amenity suite that could give certain area condos a run for their money. A Sky Deck features rooftop cabanas, a Zen garden, a screening area, and sweeping skyline and river views. A new courtyard boasts a bocce ball court, hammock grove, and grilling and dining areas. Indoor amenities include a lounge, co-working area, fitness center, children’s playroom, pet grooming area, package room, bike room, and central laundry room.
