Heatherwood Communities is putting the finishing touches on their 647-foot-tall Long Island City high-rise named Tower 28. When the building opens this March, it will be the tallest residential skyscraper in New York City outside of Manhattan and thus, will present its residents with dramatic views across the city. New renderings published by the building’s architect, Hill West (formerly Goldstein, Hill & West) show the tower’s dominating silhouette and dynamic façade which Hill West says is composed of a combination of spandrel glass and fritted glass panels in a variety of different colors and patterns.

Inside will be 451 rental units benefited by a large array of amenities mostly held within the project’s smaller wing on 27th Street. According to
Curbed, layouts are comprised of studios to three-bedrooms and apartment rents will range from $1,900 to $7,500 per month. MNS is handling marketing and leasing and tapped staging firm
The Design High to furnish the model units to complement the neutral-colored finishes and floor-to-ceiling windows. Apartments are equipped with GE appliances, Bosch washer and dryer bundles, stainless steel GE appliances and central heating and air conditioning.

Tower28’s long list of amenities include a full-time doorman, a communal terrace, a 60th floor observatory, a movie-screening room, a fully-equipped fitness center, a spa, a swimming pool, a movie screening room, a cinema room, multiple lounge areas, a children’s playroom, a business center, bicycle storage and on-site parking. The tower is very close to the Queens Plaza and Queensboro Plaza subway stations making transit to Manhattan fast and easy. Late last year the leasing team debuted a registration site for the building. Also sign up for updates and find future availabilities on CityRealty's building profile page.
