Located in Hunters Point, a highly-desirable waterfront enclave in Long Island City, 47-09 5^th Street is a brand-new development that sets the standard for luxury living. The building contains 3,770 square feet of ground floor retail and eight two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments on the second through fifth floors. Positioned on the eastern side of 5^th Street between 47^th Avenue and 47^th Road, the elevator building is truly unique to the neighborhood given its soaring ceilings and outdoor amenity space.

The ground floor unit features 20-foot ceilings and approximately 40 feet of contiguous frontage along 5^th Street, presenting a prime opportunity for a variety of potential retail and commercial uses. The surrounding blocks contain thousands of newly developed luxury apartments, condominiums, and an abundance of eateries and retailers, resulting in an irreplaceable waterfront destination. The property’s location benefits from convenient access to transportation and unrivaled neighborhood amenities, including Gantry Plaza State Park one block away, a 12-acre waterfront oasis that overlooks the East River and Manhattan Skyline.

The westernmost neighborhood of Long Island City, Hunters Point is bordered by Astoria to the north, the East River to the west, Sunnyside to the east, and Greenpoint to the south. Once home exclusively to factories, Long Island City today is known for its rapid and continuous residential growth and thriving arts community. The neighborhood, which is a quick commute to and from Manhattan, is in the midst of a commercial boom, and many vastly diverse companies have opted to move their offices into the convenient and cutting-edge area.

Unparalleled in its location, 47-09 5^th Street is accessible via a variety of transportation options. It is a six-minute walk to the 7 subway line at the Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue Station, and an eight-minute walk to the G subway line at the 21^st Street-Van Alst Station. The Long Island City Ferry is a five-minute walk from the building, and the Q103 MTA bus line is one block from the property. Additionally, the Long Island City stop on the Long Island Rail Road is several blocks away.
