Skyline Tower, the tallest building
in Queens, was the best-selling
luxury building in New York
City in 2021.
The skyscraper, located at 3 Court
Sq. in Long Island City, outsold several
other luxury condo buildings in
the city this past year, according to
Modern Spaces, the real estate agency
exclusively handling marketing and
sales of the Skyline Tower.
The building, which stands at 67
stories with 802 units, opened in 2019.
Skyline Tower has nearly reached
60% sold, according to Modern Spaces
Founder and CEO Eric Benaim. Toward
the beginning of the year, they
reported monthly sales doubled aft er
a COVID-19 pandemic slowed down
the market.
The 802 units includes studios,
one-bedrooms, tw0-bedrooms and
three-bedrooms. The most expensive
listings sold to date include a studio
for $760,687; a one-bedroom for
$1,341,312; a two-bedroom for
$2,008,497; and a three-bedroom for
$2,561,736.
Benaim attributed the hot streak to
the building’s amenities — which include
a state-of-the-art fi tness center,
a 75-foot indoor pool, a whirlpool spa,
sauna and steam room, a children’s
playroom, a business center and an
outdoor terrace, among other features
— and the fact that Long Island
City is a desirable neighborhood.
“Long Island City is a very popular
neighborhood. People like proximity
to Manhattan,” Benaim said. “It’s a
nice mixed-use neighborhood with
a beautiful waterfront.”
Benaim said buyers are predominantly
New Yorkers who want to
invest or have more confi dence in
the housing market. He said the
onset of the pandemic caused some
setbacks in terms of selling units, but
brokers compensated by conducting
thousands of virtual tours.
Benaim predicts Skyline Tower
will sell out in 12 to 18 months, as they
originally projected.
“To come out of a pandemic and sell
as many as we have is testament to the
building, to the neighborhood and
us as brokers,” Benaim said. “We’re
excited for 2022.”
