Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Situated across two tax lots, 49-02 21st Street and 11-58 49th Avenue are two five-story walk-up apartment buildings in the Hunter’s Point section of Long Island City. The properties contain 60 apartments that are primarily a mix of one- and two-bedroom units. Ownership has maintained the buildings in excellent condition and installed a new dual fuel burner; however, the gas lines have not yet been connected, with the stated goal of allowing the boilers to run on natural gas once configured.

The buildings are located on a corner with prominent visibility from Interstate 495 at the entrance of the Queens Midtown Tunnel. The tunnel provides access into Midtown Manhattan and is utilized by multiple bus routes and thousands of cars each day. Court Square is within walking distance, and mass transportation is described as steps from the 7 and G trains, with Manhattan accessible in minutes.

The prior operation generated signage income, and the opportunity exists to install signage to take advantage of the visibility. Ownership notes the potential to add additional bedrooms in many of the rent-regulated units as apartments become vacant.
