Skyline Tower Becomes The Tallest Building In The Outer Boroughs, In Long Island City
The glass curtain wall is steadily climbing up the Skyline Tower’s superstructure in Long Island City. Located at 23-15 44th Drive, the residential skyscraper will soon stand 778 feet tall, making it the tallest building in New York outside of Manhattan. The 67-story project is designed by Hill West Architects and developed by United Construction & Development Group, FSA Capital, and Risland US Holdings LLC. Modern Spaces is the exclusive marketing and sales agency for the 802 residences, which are designed by Whitehall Interiors and will range in price from $500,000 to $4 million. The team has reportedly already sold more than $223 million in inventory since the soft launch in May. The development is also the first in Queens to break the $1 billion price mark.
New photos show the tower’s presence among the Long Island City skyline. The structure recently surpassed the Citigroup Building’s tiered crown, making it the tallest building in Queens. The Skyline Tower’s façade has currently risen about halfway up the superstructure. Once completed, the building will be clad in 358,538 square feet of glass, equivalent to a span of over six football fields.
Looks like the steel crown is complete, or nearly complete
