New LIC Condos. From top left moving clockwise: Factory House, The Dutch, The Jackson, 22-43 Jackson, 22-12 Jackson, Harrison
A new phase of Long Island City’s transformation from forlorn factory district to housing hotbed has begun with an increasing amount of condo development moving forward. So far, the clear majority of units to come online in the neighborhood have been rentals. With a rental glut possible, now, more than ever, developers in the Court Square area are putting up condo buildings and are optimistic that the areas will transform into full-fledged residential communities where buyers are willing to put down roots long term.
With its stellar views of Manhattan, LIC’s Hunters Point waterfront has already seen a fair share of condo activity with buildings such as The View at East Coast and the Powerhouse topping sales chart. Now, the wave has moved inland, with new condos such as the Jackson, the Harrison, Factory House and the Dutch all expected to open their doors later this year.
