According to TF Cornerstone, the firm has opened its 50,000 s/f amenity deck at 4545 Center Blvd., the 41-story rental tower on the Long Island City waterfront, now over 65% leased.
Designed by award-winning architecture firm Arquitectonica, 4545 Center Blvd.'s amenity deck is a landscaped terrace off the seventh floor. The deck features a sand beach volleyball court, two tennis courts, a reflecting pool, lawn, and sun deck with BBQ grills, lounge chairs and benches.
"When creating a neighborhood, like we have done here on Center Blvd. in Long Island City, it is important that the amenities in TF Cornerstone residential buildings provide tenants with luxury that matches the caliber of the apartments they're living in as well as their lifestyles," said Sofia Estevez, executive VP of TF Cornerstone, Inc. "4545 Center Blvd.'s host of amenities do just this. Our residents can indulge in a country-club-like atmosphere without leaving their own street."
The building's other amenities include club rooms with a catering kitchen, bicycle storage, indoor parking garage and a 24-hour concierge and valet. Especially appealing to families is a children's playroom, designed in collaboration with Apple Seeds, an award-winning children's play center. The indoor playroom and outdoor playground will spark the imagination of kids of all ages with an infant crawling area, Lego tables, interactive exhibits and more. These kid-friendly amenities will be complemented by the 5,000 s/f NY Kids Club set to open on the ground level in fall of 2014 with three sunlit classrooms, a gym, and an outdoor play space.
4545 Center Blvd.'s 820 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments provide for open-air, modern luxury and comfort.
Starting at $2,200 a month, residents relish spaciously laid-out apartments with hardwood floors, gourmet kitchens with natural stone countertops and stainless steel appliances, and generous closet space. The floor-to-ceiling windows along the building's glass façade maximize exclusive views of the East River, Gantry Plaza State Park and Manhattan.
Center Blvd. is the main thoroughfare connecting the TF Cornerstone Long Island City development. Made up of entirely new construction, Center Boulevard includes eight waterfront parks, a public elementary school, library, retail and other services. It is within walking distance to Vernon Boulevard and various restaurants, shops and cultural activities, including Sweetleaf Coffee and Tea, Shi Asian Restaurant, Blue Streak Wines, Food Cellar Market, Duane Reade, and MoMA PS1.
