Between the recent rental building boom and the expected June 25 opening of the neighborhood's first Trader Joe's, Long Island City shows no sign of slowing down. The latest entrant is CORE23, a nine-story condominium at 41-21 23rd Street that has just launched sales. The design by Flushing-based Michael Kang Architect nods to the area’s history with a brick facade, but oversized windows will provide the abundant natural light today’s buyer has come to expect. According to permits, the project is being developed by Amir Haghani, who is doing business as an entity dubbed Park Plaza Associates LLC.
One-bedrooms start at $655K, and a two-bedroom with two private balconies is also on the market for $1.095 million. The building is being marketed by Modern Spaces, and agents Christina DeCurtis and Eli Kamitsis predict that it will capture the attention of couples or young families.
The majority of the 29 one- to two-bedroom apartments have private balconies, and all units enjoy incredible light and views from 8’ windows. The kitchens come outfitted with Fisher & Paykel refrigerators, Blomberg stovetops, and GE microwaves. The baths come with Caesarstone vanities, Grohe shower fixtures, Catalina tubs, and Toto toilets. Additional features include white oak flooring and in-unit washer/dryer.
Amenities at CORE23 include virtual doorman, bike room, state-of-the-art fitness center, and roof deck with lounge seating and 360-degree views of Manhattan and Queens. Residents also enjoy easy access to the Queensboro Plaza 7, N, and W stop and the 21st Street-Queensbridge Station F and R stop, which makes for a convenient commute all over New York. Closer to home, attractions include Queensbridge Park, Silvercup Studios, Sculpture Center, the Long Island City brand of the Queens Public Library, and local restaurants and bars.
It is also taking shape amidst a number of luxury condos that have recently begun to welcome residents. A few blocks away, remaining availabilities at Hero LIC start at $800K for one-bedrooms. The nearby 5 Court Square is distinguished by its smart-home capabilities, and its two three-bedroom availabilities start at $2.29 million.
