Queens’ booming neighborhood, Long Island City, is welcoming another high rise, mixed-use complex to the fold. Aurora apartments from developer G. Holdings features one- to three-bedroom units, each boasting modern touches and prime skyline views.
The concrete and glass-clad facade at 29-11 Queens Plaza N. is a nod to Long Island City’s developing landscape. Michael Arad of Handel Architects aptly designed the building to meet the needs of the growing Queens population, with interior touches and amenities aimed to fit the modern New York City resident.
“Long Island City is such an exciting and thriving destination in New York City, convenient to Manhattan, but with a great identity of its own and absolutely beautiful skyline views,” Etai Gross, a principal at G. Holdings, said in a statement.
