Paragon is a newly completed 23-story condominium tower (2026) in Long Island City that rises from a renovated 1930s industrial shell. The development offers a mix of studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom residences with high ceilings—some units up to 12 feet—and wide-plank hardwood flooring. Kitchens are finished with custom Desert Oak Shinnoki cabinetry, stone countertops and full-height backsplashes, and select units feature premium appliance packages (Bosch and Gaggenau). Bathrooms are clad in large-format porcelain slab tile with high-end fixtures and deep soaking tubs or walk-in showers. Many homes include generous closets or walk-in closets, built-in storage, motorized window treatments, in-unit washers and dryers, keyless LATCH entry, and Nest thermostats. Several apartments have private outdoor space ranging from small balconies to larger terraces. Common areas emphasize resident services and leisure: a 24-hour attended lobby, secure package room with cold storage and Amazon Hub lockers, a 20th-floor sky lounge with city views, landscaped rooftop terrace with pergolas and grilling stations, and multiple indoor entertaining rooms. Wellness and recreation amenities include a state-of-the-art gym, a fifth-floor outdoor fitness and yoga terrace with a pickleball court and children’s play area, a golf simulator, and flexible co-working and billiards spaces. The building provides easy access to Gantry Plaza State Park, waterfront promenades, MoMA PS1, neighborhood shops and markets, NYC Ferry service, and multiple subway lines (7, E, M, G).
