Originally developed in 1916, 47-11 Austell Place features high ceilings, addition of two new, all-glass floors with 14-foot clear glass curtain wall, outdoor terraces at four levels, over-sized industrial windows & exceptional views of the Manhattan skyline – complemented by a desirable transit infrastructure & proximity to the Queens-Midtown Expressway. The design team applied modern touches to the historic building while retaining the structure’s sense of nostalgia & raw industrial aesthetics.

The renovation and design of Austell Places represents a significant milestone in the Long Island City neighborhood revitalization. Located in Sunnyside Yards, one of the largest undeveloped parcels in New York City, the project has transformed the historic structure into a creatively designed Class A office space and ground floor retail. The renovation and expansion includes a complete, bottom-up restoration, and the incorporation of open, spacious roof terraces and amenity areas, which sits adjacent to the NYC Subway’s revamped 7 Line.

These amenity areas include an expanded round floor lobby with lounge and meeting spaces, as well as the conversion of an existing two-bay loading dock as ground floor restaurant.
