Construction has reached completion at the 24-story Hero Long Island City in New York City's Queens.

11 August 2020 | New York City, United States

Construction is complete at Hero LIC, a 24-story condominium building at 24-16 Queens Plaza South in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by Woods Bagot Architects and developed by Silverback Development, the 284-foot-tall (86.5-meter-tall) tower features a striking Art-Moderne design and contains a mix of studios, one-, and two-bedroom layouts, many of which offer private balconies. The Serhant Team at Nest Seekers International is handling the sales and marketing for the 109 units.

New photographs show the completed look of the envelope with its undulating corner balconies on the northern side, the most eye-catching feature of the design. A red sign is posted by the front entrance that advertises units starting at US$600,000, a 15-year tax abatement, and immediate occupancy.
