Astoria, Queens
This 19,475-square-foot seven-story rental building along the East River, completed in 2016, with a gym and roof deck, is available. The building is named Graffiti House for the revolving curated works by artists associated with the Ad Hoc Art community. Works displayed in the lobby and hallways are for sale, while more permanent art includes a geometric mural on the building’s south facade, fantastical birds painted on an outside wall of the indoor-outdoor garage and bold murals at different levels of the elevator shaft that can be seen through a glass wall of the elevator. The building’s 28 one-bedrooms, with rents going from about $2,800 to $4,800 per month, feature Italian-imported appliances, cabinets and countertop finishes; radiant heat flooring; floor-to-ceiling windows; and private balconies. Twenty-two years remain on the building’s 25-year tax abatement. The cap rate is about 5 percent.
