20 and 30 Halletts Point first phase to include 58,000 s/f waterfront esplanade; designed by Starr Whitehouse

Queens, NY The Durst Organization has unveiled new renderings of 20 and 30 Halletts Point, the second major phase of the Halletts Point development designed by Handel Architects, with 647 residential rental units, retail, and the first section of waterfront public open space. Leasing for 20 and 30 Halletts Point will launch in February 2025, with move-ins slated for spring.

The opening of 20 and 30 Halletts Point will include the first phase of the 58,000 s/f public waterfront esplanade designed by Starr Whitehouse. The public waterfront esplanade unlocks this stretch of waterfront to the public for the first time in generations. The esplanade will feature a new playground, picnic area, and a variety of seating.

Modern studio, one, and two-bedroom homes have floor-to-ceiling windows and ample natural light. The apartments are outfitted with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified light oak wood flooring, Italian wood cabinets, quartz countertops, and double-pane windows for maximum light, energy efficiency, and quiet. Bedrooms have black-out shades for rest. Every apartment has a washer and dryer as well as a smart thermostat that is programmable and adjustable via an app. The building comes with pre-wired building-wide high-speed wi-fi that residents can subscribe to and activate within minutes of moving in.

The 39,000 s/f of amenities include an amenity terrace featuring a pool with sweeping city and river views, sun lounges, BBQ grilling and outdoor dining areas. The  fitness center offers a yoga studio, boxing studio, cardio training area, robust strength training equipment, and virtual fitness. Lounges cater to a variety of resident interests including a game room, card room, multi-sport room, screening room, and recording studio. The coworking lounge has space to spread out and work with private phone booths and bookable conference rooms. Families can enjoy the Tot Spot, with private indoor and outdoor space for the youngest residents to play.

7,955 s/f of ground-floor neighborhood retail will activate the street and bring in new services and amenities to the neighborhood. Across the street is the Brooklyn Harvest supermarket at 10 Halletts Point.

Halletts Point offers residents living along the Astoria waterfront with access to Manhattan. The first building, 10 Halletts Point, opened in 2019 with 405 residential rental units and is now almost entirely leased.
