From the Architect

“Long Island City is experiencing dynamic growth. New high-rises are sprouting from a low-rise industrial context. We wanted to respect the historical identity of the Hunter's Point neighborhood, while harmonizing with the innovative skyline of the future. The richly detailed brick podium anchors the mixed-use residential building and reflects the industrial heritage and craftsmanship of the area."
-David West, FAIA, Co-Founder of Hill West Architects
