Completed in 2019, CORTE is an eight-story condominium in Long Island City with 69 residences across one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts. The design, a collaboration between Dieguez Fridman and Beyer Blinder Belle, presents a contemporary tinted glass curtain wall composed visually as stacked volumes. Interiors emphasize high ceilings, wide-plank white oak floors and generous glazing; typical homes include open-plan living and dining areas, floor-to-ceiling windows, and in-unit washer/dryer and ductless split HVAC. Shared spaces are layered between indoor and outdoor: a landscaped garden and courtyard, planted roof deck with barbecue areas and cabanas, a residents’ lounge with skylights and a fireplace, fitness center, children’s playroom, bike room, dedicated laundry center and storage rooms. Building services include a 24-hour attended lobby, a live-in resident manager/superintendent and on-site parking for sale. Pet wash facilities are provided and some private outdoor spaces under 60 sq ft augment select units. Located on 44th Drive in central LIC, the site sits within walking distance of multiple subway lines and the NYC ferry, placing everyday retail, grocery and dining options moments away.
