TF Cornerstone fully leases final LIC waterfront building BY LIAM LA GUERRE TF Cornerstone’s sixth and final building overlooking the waterfront along Center Boulevard in Long Island City is fully leased, just five months after it began welcoming residents. The real estate firm announced on Sept. 15 that the 26-story luxury tower 4610 Center Boulevard, known for curving around the iconic Pepsi-Cola sign, filled its 584 units, which range from studios to three-bedroom apartments. More than 6,000 people now call the TF Cornerstone buildings on the LIC waterfront (comprising 2,615 rental units and 184 condominiums on Center Boulevard) home, according to the company. “We’ve spent the last 12 years not only building and leasing buildings along the LIC waterfront, but also immersing ourselves in the community and growing to love the neighborhood just as much as our residents do,” said Sofia Estevez, executive vice president for TF Cornerstone. “The lease-up of this building is a true testament to the vibrancy of this area, and we look forward to our next chapter of development in LIC.” real estate MODERN SPACES set to open new Astoria office in October BY LIAM LA GUERRE Modern Spaces is now batting six for six in the retail estate office game. The firm, which Eric Benaim launched in Long Island City in 2008, announced Sept. 22 that it is opening its sixth location in six years and its second in Astoria in October, hoping to hit a home run with the area as it did with its original neighborhood. In a recent interview with The Courier, Benaim said he sees tons of potential in Astoria, which has already begun to see an influx of new development, and is why the neighborhood was chosen for the new office at 34-16 30th Ave. “We are very happy to expand our Astoria reach with this new office, and are proud to be part of this community,” Benaim said. “The timing is opportune for us, as we have three new projects in Astoria that will be hitting the market early next year.” The new office will be about 2,000 square feet and will house 25 agents. It will also have an outdoor garden space for events. Lifelong Astoria resident Greg Kyroglou, who is the current managing director of the first Astoria location at 29-20 23rd Ave., has been promoted to managing director of the new office. He will also run the original Astoria location as well. Image courtesy of TF Cornerstone
