2026 Developing Queens: The Orchard
Queens, NY The city’s tallest building and newest skyline icon, The Orchard, rises 823 ft. at the intersection of Orchard St. and Jackson Ave. in the heart of Long Island City. Developed by BLDG Management Co. Inc., the tower anchors a full city block and brings 824 thoughtfully designed residences to one of the city’s fastest-growing neighborhoods just minutes from Manhattan. Architecture and interiors are led by Perkins Eastman, McCartan and HMWhite.
More than 100,000 s/f of indoor and outdoor amenities are centered around New York City’s largest private backyard – a 60,000 s/f landscaped oasis featuring a resort-style pool, pickleball courts, a running track and more. Inside, a curated amenities program supports recreation and everyday living, anchored by a fitness and wellness center and a newly unveiled pro-style indoor basketball court developed in collaboration with NBA Skills trainer Chris Brickley. Coworking lounges and entertainment spaces extend throughout the building, culminating in a 70th-floor Sky Lounge with sweeping city views.
Now open and welcoming residents, the tower offers layouts ranging from studios to three-bedroom homes, setting a new standard for living in one of New York’s most dynamic boroughs. Starting prices range from around $4,000 to over $10,000.
