Property Description for 21-10 44th Drive, 4-B

The Decker is an exciting boutique condominium residence with extraordinary style in a distinctive neighborhood. Long Island City’s exciting Court Square surrounds The Decker, where eclectic shopping and dining are in close proximity — with convenient transportation steps away.

The striking eight-story building has been designed as an homage to LIC’s fascinating maritime history, notably a tribute to the Newtown Creek Towing Company and its tugboat, the W.O. Decker.

Like Long Island City itself, The Decker blends old and new, metal with wood and thoughtful design, along with unique details to create a harmonious whole in a neighborhood rich with history. The building’s mix of one, two and three-bedroom units offer expansive modern layouts to fit everyone’s needs.

Situated in one of Long Island City’s most vibrant neighborhoods, the Decker’s red brick exterior contrasts with the modern, carefully designed condominiums inside offering tranquility, space and light. The result is a reimagined and inspired collection of one to three bedroom apartments that represent the ultimate in luxury design and craftsmanship.

Each unit features a gracious layout with modern details, including a dedicated Daikin HVAC system for individual heating and cooling, and engineered select 4-inch wide natural oak flooring. Chef-inspired kitchens resonate with a deep appreciation of fine craftsmanship, instilled with modern conveniences and refinement; a space designed and formed with a keen eye to detail. Beauty and functionality are integrated in each, pairing custom Miton Cucine Italian cabinetry with Bosch appliances. Bathrooms are outfitted with Grohe and Kohler shower fixtures, along with Kohler toilets, sinks and bathtubs.

Outstanding amenities offer a respite from the hectic pace of urban life. Every detail of The Decker has been designed to accommodate the modern city dweller’s needs and to provide the comforts and services of a luxury building. The building features great entertaining options when it’s time to unwind: a lounge; an outdoor “backyard” space, with barbecue grills, greenery, and lounge furnishings, a rec room, with a pool table and other amusements; and a fitness center, along with a convenient virtual doorman.

Court Square is one of Long Island City’s most fascinating neighborhoods — ideally located — with easy access to Manhattan and at the center of all that is so appealing about LIC. The community has quickly become a burgeoning cultural center with a vibrant dining scene and one of the highest concentrations of art galleries and studio spaces in New York City. Stop by MoMA PS1 or stroll through Gantry Plaza State Park, a riverside retreat with playgrounds, fishing piers, and running paths. Savor a delicious meal at Michelin-rated restaurants Casa Enrique and M. Wells Steakhouse or relax at a nearby café. All this and more is what awaits you at The Decker.

Court Square | Queens

Quick Profile

Not that long-ago Court Square was an industrial zone near the Ed Koch / Queensboro Bridge. It was populated by manufacturing warehouses, lumber mills, dive bars and hole in the wall restaurants. Rumbling trains moving along the elevated tracks above added to the grittiness of the neighborhood. Despite its industrial past, it’s seen its share of major growth in recent years especially when it comes to residential construction.

Court Square is a triangular shaped pocket neighborhood of Long Island City and it is bounded by 21st Street to the west, Skillman Avenue to the east, 44th Drive and Thomson Avenue to the north and 49th Avenue to the south.

Its history feels a whole lot simpler compared to some of the other neighborhoods in Queens. Court Square is named after the historic Queens County Courthouse. Built in 1874 the court has tried some of the most important criminal cases in New York. Made out of brick and granite, the two-and-a-half story building was officially designated a landmark in 1976.  

Modern day Court Square is a vibrant neighborhood offering a healthy mix of brownstones, contemporary commercial buildings and modern residential buildings of varying sizes. The cool factor may not be at the same levels as select Brooklyn or Manhattan neighborhoods, but Court Square is quickly catching up. Art galleries, breweries, hip eateries, bookstores, and sustainable parks are defining the nabe and drawing in new residents.

You can’t write about Court Square and Long Island City without mentioning the Amazon debacle that went down on Valentine’s Day 2019. Drama ensued when the company withdrew their Headquarters 2 offer at One Court Square. The 50-story building was close to becoming the second headquarters for the American tech giant but the deal fell through. Amazon and New York’s Governor Cuomo, just couldn’t work out the fine details of the deal that included tax breaks and incentives. The heavily politicized event eventually collapsed.

The median listed price for a 1-bedroom in Court Square is $1,188,287 with an average price per square foot is $1,544.

The neighborhood has a fantastic transportation hub. Busses, LIRR Trains, and major roadways are easily accessed from Court Square and Long Island City. 7, E, G and M trains are located at the Court Square-23 Street station. And the N, Q , W and 7 trains are located at the Queensboro Plaza station.
