NEW YORK – Skyline Tower, the tallest building in Queens, has officially launched its sales. Modern Spaces is exclusively handing all marketing and sales for the luxury condominiums.

The firm has sold $223 million or 25% of units ranging from $640,000 to $2.365 million, in two and a half months since the project’s soft-launch in May. The tower’s in-contract units currently average $1,583 per square-foot, about $200 more per square-foot than any other residence on market in Queens.

Skyline Tower initially broke the record for the highest projected sell out at $1.067 billion, excluding penthouses which will be released at a later date.

The 67-story, 778-foot tower serves as the tallest building in New York City, outside of Manhattan. It is located at 3 Court Square in Long Island City’s Court Square neighborhood, one of the fastest-growing commercial and cultural hubs in New York City. The building features 802 units, offering studio to four-bedroom floorplans, ranging from 400 square feet to 1,547 square feet. Units start at $500,000 to $4 million and move-in dates are slated to begin in 2020.

Tower amenities include a 75-foot temperature-controlled lap pool, a whirl pool spa with steam and sauna rooms, a fitness facility, a children’s playroom, a resident lounge, a business center, a lounge area with a kitchen and double-level terrace, bicycle storage and a mail and package room. Private parking and storage units are also available for tenants to lease or purchase. The tower will provide a full-time concierge service and doorman.

The building will also offer private yoga and Pilates classes, group weight and cardio classes, aquatic fitness lessons, massage therapy, in-home chef and catering services, furniture installation, personal shopping, in-home salon services, travel and transportation planning, housekeeping, home-office tech support and pet-friendly programs such as dog walking, daycare, grooming, behavioral training and veterinary house calls.
