A luxury condominium in the Ditmars
neighborhood in Astoria is nearing completion
and the developer has launched a
marketing strategy.
Little Neck-based Rock Farmer
Properties has started a teaser website
for “Th e Rowan,” at therowanastoria.com,
providing interested buyers a fi rst look at
the modern, amenity-rich development
designed by DXA Studio.
“With Th e Rowan, we are creating a
product that hasn’t existed in Astoria,
a modern thoughtfully designed condominium
building that has all the high-end
fi nishes and amenities you see across the
city,” RockFarmer Properties Managing
Principal John Petras said. “As a Queensbased
developer that knows the borough
incredibly well, we believe Th e Rowan
will speak to an underserved buyer in the
area looking for new construction in one
of New York City’s best neighborhoods.”
When completed next year, the six-story
condo, located one block from the N
train at 21-21 31st St., will be comprised of
46 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom
residences ranging from 425 to 1,857
square feet with prices from $495,000 to
$2,150,000. Th e Rowan will open a sales
gallery nearby at 29-21 21st St. this fall
where buyers will be able to review a 3-D
model of the building, a built-out kitchen,
living room and bathrooms.
“While there has been a fl urry of new
development in nearby Long Island City
and Brooklyn, Astoria hasn’t seen many
luxury condominiums, certainly not
of this caliber,” RockFarmer Properties
Managing Principal George Michelis said.
“Th is is a product we think will resonate
with buyers. Th e Rowan off ers the highest
level of design, amenities and fi nishes at
incredible value compared to Manhattan
and other ‘hot’ area in Brooklyn.”
Th e development will feature a fully
automated 96-space parking garage by
U-tron, one of the only systems in New
York and the only one in Queens. Th e
three story structure under the building
will allow residents to call for their cars
on demand using a phone app and the car
will be delivered in minutes. Th e Rowan
will feature nearly 22,000 square feet of
retail space for boutiques, restaurants and
other service-driven retailers.
“It is incredibly exciting for us to have
the opportunity to transform this area in
Astoria and to make this building into an
extraordinary place to live,” DXA Partners
Wayne Norbeck and John Rogove said
in a statement. “Th is project is a rare
combination of sweeping views of the
Manhattan skyline, over 10-foot ceiling
heights and immersive garden spaces that
frame the community.”
Other amenities include a fi tness center,
an indoor/outdoor resident’s lounge, a
library, a children’s playroom and bicycle
and storage spaces. For more information

Ripco Real Estate at 718-233-6565.
