$5 MILLION APARTMENT FOR SALE IN LIC, BUT THAT’S NOT THE STORY

April 7, 2014 by editor 6 Comments

That’s right folks, less than one week after I broke the news about Queens most expensive condo, another seller comes along and crushes the previous record holder by 50%. ONE WEEK! The raw numbers equate to an asking price of over $2,500 a square foot.

Once again The View in Hunters Point tops itself with Queens priciest condo listing at $3.58 million, and we’ve heard that it is close to a done deal, which will set yet another record for Long Island City and Queens condos.
