Long Island City Tower

Situated at the intersection of the East River and an industrial canal on the northernmost point of a 10-block waterfront redevelopment, this 40-story residential tower evokes the undulating waves of the ocean. The Miami-inspired window wall system incorporates teardrop-shaped balconies that nest into the facade. The tower rests on a six-story podium, which incorporates retail, amenities, and a parking garage as well as a rooftop park and recreational area.
