THE BUILDING
The impeccably maintained Powerhouse building Long Island City, Queens was built in 1909 as a power station for the Pennsylvania Railroad Power Station, and thoughtfully re-imagined by Architect Karl Fischer who kept the base building in place, and built a total of 177 luxury units blending old-world stone architecture with a modern expansion and world-class amenities and finishes.
A 24/7 Concierge building, amenities include package reception and cold storage for your deliveries, bicycle storage, 2-level fitness center with cardio and strength, yoga room, business center, childrens’ playroom, aqua grotto with whirlpool, massage room, lounge equipped with pool table and wet bar, common roof terrace with city views, BBQ grills and picnic tables. The Powerhouse Condo is under a 5-minute walk to the 7 train at Vernon-Jackson ; 1 stop to Grand Central.
THE AREA
The Hunter's Point waterfront is the most desirable part of Long Island City, and for good reason: Beaming with sun and fresh air from the riverfront, there are 2 transit options that get you to Midtown in 10 minutes: Both the 7 train and the Hunters Point Ferry. Citibike is on the corner, and the neighborhood itself is very walkable to a great variety of locally owned restaurants, myriad of independent brew pubs, and coffee shops which collectively hipper and more relaxed than anything this broker sees in Manhattan.

Quick Profile
Long Island City, the name does sound a little far away, like it requires a lengthy drive to get to. Think, again. Long Island City, also known as LIC, is nestled in the western corner of Queens along the East River. Midtown Manhattan is closer to Long Island City than it is to downtown Manhattan.
LIC is bordered by Sunnyside to the east, the East River to the west, Astoria to the north, and Newton Creek which separates Queens from Greenpoint Brooklyn to the south.
A once-shabby manufacturing epicenter, the neighborhood is a mix of industrial, commercial and residential. In recent years it’s seen a rise in some seriously cool factors. Populated by young professionals, multi-ethnic immigrants, and hipsters, LIC has a happening nightlife scene, fantastic restaurants (some of them Michelin starred), art museums and galleries. Much of the waterfront access has been redeveloped into sustainable public green spaces with modern design.
Although much of the industrial / manufacturing companies have since left LIC, many still reside there. They tend to co-exist with new residential building development the same way they do in other neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Greenpoint.
Office building developers and business tenants play a vital role in LIC too. It’s considered New York City’s fourth central business district next to Midtown, downtown Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn.
As you traverse the streets of LIC, you’ll notice the change from block to block. Industrial warehouses on one block, a bustling Main Street, followed by a park block with sleek luxury high-rise buildings. It’s all part of the LIC vibe.
For a small neighborhood, the transportation links are excellent. For starters, you just can’t beat living one subway stop from Manhattan (7 train). Other train lines include E, M, R, N, Q, and the G lines. There are also less conventional methods of transportation like the NYC Ferry, which offers three ferry landings. There is no shortage of CitiBike’s in LIC either. Many folks commute to work by way of cycling over the Queensboro Bridge.
