The 67-story tower surpasses neighboring One Court Square as the tallest tower in Queens. Designed by Hill West Architects, the tower features a curtain wall of floor-to-ceiling glass with corner balconies.

Model Residences

The tower offers 802 condo residences ranging in size from studios to four-bedroom penthouses, with 155 units offering outdoor terraces. Kitchens feature a quartz slab countertop and backsplash, along with Bosch appliances. Bathrooms feature white marble, porcelain, and bronze fixtures from Kohler.

Modern Spaces created a model studio unit furnished with an Ori Cloud Bed, a piece of furniture that offers a more spacious alternative to accommodating a bed and couch in the same living area. The bed raises into a drop ceiling element, revealing a couch that serves as the bed’s headboard. Ori’s Pocket Closet is located at the foot of the bed, allowing for a bookcase/TV stand that slides away from the wall to reveal a closet.
