21-45 44th Drive #PHA

Rarely available penthouse condominium with private balcony and expansive city views Perched atop The Industry as Penthouse A, this sun-drenched studio - easily convertible to a junior one-bedroom - makes an immediate impression with soaring 10.5-foot ceilings and a sweeping wall of windows that floods every corner with natural light. At 562 square feet, the open loft floor plan is thoughtfully designed to maximize both space and flexibility, opening directly onto a 60 square foot private balcony with unobstructed north views of Long Island City and westward vistas stretching across the Manhattan skyline. The sleek open kitchen is appointed with a full-size SubZero refrigerator, high-end stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and elegant Caesarstone countertops with a glass subway tile backsplash - while the designer bathroom answers with floor-to-ceiling tile, and a deep soaking tub. Oak hardwood floors run throughout and an in-unit ventless washer / dryer completes the picture. A separately deeded storage cage is available for purchase. The Industry is a 75-unit full-service luxury condominium developed by the team behind Silvercup Studios, and the building's amenities reflect that pedigree of quality. A 16-hour doorman-attended lobby with video intercom sets the tone from the moment you arrive, while a live-in superintendent ensures the building runs seamlessly around the clock. Above it all, a fully furnished, landscaped rooftop deck offers chaise lounges, an outdoor grill, and sweeping, unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline - the kind of outdoor space that transforms an ordinary evening into something memorable. A state-of-the-art fitness center, playroom, bike storage room, and a beautifully landscaped courtyard round out an amenity package that truly serves every dimension of modern city living. The building is also pet-friendly, and on-site parking is available for residents who need it. Long Island City has quietly become one of the most desirable neighborhoods in all of New York City, and The Industry sits squarely at its beating heart in the Court Square district. Just half a block from the Court Square station, residents enjoy direct access to the E, G, M, and 7 trains - placing Midtown Manhattan one stop away and every corner of the city well within reach. On the ground level, the neighborhood delivers everything you could ask for: Target and Trader Joe's for everyday essentials, MoMA PS1 and Murray Park for culture and green space, and a flourishing dining and café scene that continues to draw new energy.
