The Long Island City construction boom has been happening for years and it shows no signs of stopping. While Brooklyn and Manhattan occasionally take the spotlight away from new Queens developments, now is the time to highly these three gorgeous luxury Long Island City new construction buildings.

Long Island City is rapidly becoming one of the hottest parts of the city to call home. Tower28 is one of the newest rental developments in this area and it resembles the glass towers more commonly found along the streets of Manhattan. This glass building is located at 42-12 28th Street, and stands 58 stories tall bringing in a total of 477 new homes to the booming neighborhood.

In 2014, renderings for a new Long Island City residential development were first revealed. Four years later, the development sits at 44-41 Purves Street completed and with gorgeous homes currently on the market.

So we know that NYC has the sixth highest rental market in the nation (technically, the Northern New Jersey-New York area ranked sixth); Samuel Miller’s December 2014 rental report provided more insight into what exactly it looks like, and long story short: median rent levels went up as mean levels went down.

In recent years, we’ve seen the major overhaul of the Long Island City waterfront. Luxury buildings now take advantage of the neighborhood’s prime location, one of them being the new Gantry Park Landing at 50-01 2nd Street. The up-and-coming neighborhood has become a popular destination for commuters, as it’s one short stop away from Midtown Manhattan on the 7 train.
