Designed by Handel Architects, the residences feature nine-foot ceilings, luxury plank flooring, in-home washers and dryers, and complimentary window treatments. The kitchens have stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and full-height backsplash, soft-close cabinetry, and under-cabinet lighting, along with porcelain tile floors and tiled wet walls in the baths.

Residents at Link Apartments QPN will also enjoy over 35,000 s/f of amenities, including a 24-hour concierge, outdoor pool and sundeck with cabanas and outdoor shower, rooftop terrace with skyline views, and barbeques and outdoor dining areas. Other highlights include a resident lounge, fitness center, co-working spaces, library nook, game room, and a garden courtyard with two dog runs. On-site resident and bike storage is available, and the pet-friendly building hosts a pet spa.

The building also includes 7,000 s/f of ground floor retail space.

One of Link Apartments QPN’s best amenities is its seven-minute commute to Manhattan with direct access to the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s (MTA) Queensboro Plaza subway station’s 7, N and W trains through a new, fully accessible entrance, pedestrian bridge connection and additional elevator. Grubb Properties partnered with the Department of City Planning and Metropolitan Transportation Authority to participate in New York’s Zoning for Accessibility program. This was only the second use of the Zoning for Accessibility program, and the first outside of Manhattan.

Art plays a notable role in the design of Link Apartments QPN, aiming to inspire residents, beautify their surroundings and help foster a sense of community. Grubb Properties commissioned original pieces, including several by local artists, that reflect the character of the building and the neighborhood. The artwork is displayed throughout the building, including the first-floor lounge and mail room, the 12^th floor lounge and co-working space, and the elevator lobbies. The artists include Emilio Perez, Naomi Kawanishi Reis, KAWS, Stefan Heyne, Tara Donovan and Liz Roache. The courtyard features a sculpture park with works by John Clement and the bike room and dog spa features works by Yuke Li.

Handel Architects drew inspiration for the design of Link Apartments QPN from the industrial feel of the waterfront warehouse structures that previously lined the Queens waterfront, expressed in ironspot brick and varied fenestration pattern.
