The Foundry is a boutique condominium in Long Island City completed in 2008. The low-rise building rises four stories and contains roughly 30–60 residences (market materials reference mid- to high‑50s across releases) composed primarily of one- and two-bedroom plans plus several duplex/townhouse-style units. Architecturally it favors loft-like proportions: high ceilings, large floor-to-ceiling windows, and duplex layouts that create townhouse experiences within a condo envelope. Interior finishes across units commonly include hardwood floors, granite or stone kitchen counters, stainless steel appliances, walk-in closets in larger units, marble or tiled bathrooms, in-unit washers/dryers, and built-ins such as wine coolers and custom storage. Building-common interiors feature a double-height lobby, concierge/part-time doorman service, package room, elevator, and an on-site resident manager. Outdoor and communal amenities emphasize landscaped social space and fitness: a large landscaped courtyard and an expansive common roof deck/terrace, plus a ground-floor fitness center and bicycle storage. Select residences include private terraces or rooftop decks and some units offer deeded parking available for separate purchase. The property is pet-friendly and maintains smoke-free common areas. Parking, concierge, and part-time door staff add convenience for daily living while the combination of private outdoor spaces and a large shared terrace supports entertaining and urban outdoor living. Situated in the Hunters Point/Gantry Plaza area, the building sits a short walk from Gantry Plaza State Park and the East River ferry, with the Vernon/Jackson 7 train stop nearby. The immediate neighborhood offers waterfront parks, restaurants, grocery options, and quick transit into Midtown Manhattan, positioning the building for residents who want close-in waterfront access with a quiet, courtyard-facing block address.
