Th e newly completed Skyline
Tower in Long Island City is now
the tallest building in Queens.
Th e project broke ground
in 2017 and the fi nal touches
were made at the end of July,
though residents began moving
in February.
Th e luxury apartment building
is 67 stories high, located
at 23-15 44th Dr. It surpassed
the neighboring One Court
Square as the tallest structure
in the neighborhood. Excluding
Manhattan, it is also the tallest
building in any of the fi ve boroughs.
In May of 2019, Skyline Tower
had 801 condos on the market.
Now, only around 50 units are
on the market. On average, units
are sold for about $1.5 million.
Skyline Tower also includes a
77-foot indoor pool, a sauna, pet
spa and private valet parking.
Th e building’s developers also
bankrolled a $16 million accessible
subway entrance in the main
fl oor of the building, which
opened in March of this year.
Th e entrance connects to the
nearby Court Square-23rd Street
subway station.
