Link Apartments QPN
Link Apartments QPN includes over 400 apartments as well as a new accessible entrance to the 7, N and W lines at Queensboro Plaza.
Link Apartments QPN is a new multifamily residential building located directly north of the Queensboro Plaza subway station in Long Island City, Queens. The project includes 417 residential units and a variety of indoor and outdoor amenities including a linear gallery, a landscaped courtyard, and a rooftop pool.
LINK is designed as a slender tower atop a block-wide podium using a dark brick facade with a repeating pattern of alternating sized windows. The tower brick frames enormous glass windows that look both west to Manhattan and east to the quickly growing LIC skyline. A glass reveal cuts through the podium vertically and marks the accessible entrance to the subway station, which can be reached via a bridge connection.
Interiors were inspired by the variety of art institutions and galleries in the Long Island City neighborhood.
The lobby was designed to be part of a gallery “art walk” that invites the public to pass through. The art theme runs through the entire property and is reinforced with a minimalist color palette and material selections such as concrete floors and columns and exposed rough hewn wood beam ceilings that are meant to showcase the art in the spaces. The exposed wood beams were salvaged and repurposed from the buildings that were formerly on the site.
Upper level amenities include work from home spaces, a game room, and an outdoor pool.
Units are well-designed with modern kitchens, washer and dryer, and gracious closets.
