Court Square from the FDR today - it's like its calling out, begging for a new influx of 200m skyscrapers. Maybe a supertall?

Exciting!

I wish we could have stayed with the earlier plan, but I do love that LIC is becoming more dense.

It's a solid 30 meters taller than the Citi building. It's a great addition.

I walked by the site this past weekend and got a closeup view of the rendering. This is a very elegant building.

Queens Gets Its First Billion-Dollar Condo Tower, With 802 Units

Who says billion-dollar condo towers are just for Manhattan? Now Queens is getting one.

Skyline Tower, a 67-story project rising in Long Island City, got approval last week from the state attorney general’s office to begin sales. Its marketing plan estimates the sellout price of all its units to be $1.008 billion, a first for the borough, said Eric Benaim, chief executive officer of Modern Spaces, the brokerage marketing the tower.

Condos at the project, located at 23-15 44th Drive, aren’t running in the tens of millions of dollars, however. The reason for the high sellout figure is the building’s size: It will have 802 apartments.

Quote:

Units start at just over $600,000 for a third-floor studio and go up to $3.04 million for a two-bedroom on the top floor of the project, which will be higher than the nearby Citigroup Building. The larger penthouses on the upper stories haven’t been priced yet, so the sellout estimate will rise after they are, Benaim said.

“It’s like Queens has finally made its mark in real estate,” he said.

That's what a billion dollar condo tower looks like? No self respect for the mark this tower will make on the skyline and the every day experience for those who live there. With exorbitant pricing, you would at least suspect the owners to give more, we have to lay eyes on this forever. Yea yea, it's not a must for the design to match the pricing, but give the rest of the citizens something to drool over. Make a f**king mark. Pathetic, bland, uninspired, regurgitated, copy-paste tower.

It does need a much better design, but don't like the "billion dollar condo" mark fool you. They could lose those balconies, for starters. I have no idea what they are doing with that roof. I think the taller version was better. But they will make their money, especially now with Amazon on the way (the workers moving into 1 Court Sq will have a great view of this one being built). Let's just hope the coming towers are designed with a more civic minded nature.
