Perched atop The Industry as Penthouse A, this sun-drenched studio - easily convertible to a junior one-bedroom - makes an immediate impression with soaring 10.5-foot ceilings and a sweeping wall of windows that floods every corner with natural light. At 562 square feet, the open loft floor plan is thoughtfully designed to maximize both space and flexibility, opening directly onto a 60 square foot private balcony with unobstructed north views of Long Island City and westward vistas stretching across the Manhattan skyline. The sleek open kitchen is appointed with a full-size SubZero refrigerator, high-end stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and elegant Caesarstone countertops with a glass subway tile backsplash - while the designer bathroom answers with floor-to-ceiling tile, and a deep soaking tub. Oak hardwood floors run throughout and an in-unit ventless washer / dryer completes the picture. A separately deeded storage cage is available for purchase.
The Industry is a 75-unit full-service luxury condominium developed by the team behind Silvercup Studios, and the building's amenities reflect that pedigree of quality. A 16-hour doorman-attended lobby with video intercom sets the tone from the moment you arrive, while a live-in superintendent ensures the building runs seamlessly around the clock. Above it all, a fully furnished, landscaped rooftop deck offers chaise lounges, an outdoor grill, and sweeping, unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline - the kind of outdoor space that transforms an ordinary evening into something memorable. A state-of-the-art fitness center, playroom, bike storage room, and a beautifully landscaped courtyard round out an amenity package that truly serves every dimension of modern city living. The building is also pet-friendly, and on-site parking is available for residents who need it.
Long Island City has quietly become one of the most desirable neighborhoods in all of New York City, and The Industry sits squarely at its beating heart in the Court Square district. Just half a block from the Court Square station, residents enjoy direct access to the E, G, M, and 7 trains - placing Midtown Manhattan one stop away and every corner of the city well within reach. On the ground level, the neighborhood delivers everything you could ask for: Target and Trader Joe's for everyday essentials, MoMA PS1 and Murray Park for culture and green space, and a flourishing dining and café scene that continues to draw new energy.
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.
