The Austin is a seven-story condominium completed in 2024 comprising 98 residences across one-, two- and three-bedroom plans plus a duplex/townhouse collection. Architecturally restrained and contemporary, the building emphasizes generous proportions with floor-to-ceiling triple-glazed windows, high ceilings, and herringbone white oak floors that create bright, airy interiors. Unit finishes include custom Scavolini kitchens with Viking appliances and Savalo stone hoods, marble and quartz counters, kitchen islands, walk-in closets, recessed lighting, and spa-inspired bathrooms with Porcelanosa vanities and Grohe fixtures. Select duplex townhouses feature private gardens or terraces and ceilings up to ten feet. Common spaces begin with a landscaped courtyard and grand lobby connected by a skywalk; on-site amenities span a residents’ lounge and library, children’s play and music rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness center with stretching studio and indoor basketball court, a spa and sauna, and two rooftop levels with a saltwater junior-Olympic pool, pickleball court, outdoor cinema, kitchens and dining areas with skyline views. Practical conveniences include a 24-hour doorman and concierge, private concierge closets for deliveries, storage for purchase, live-in superintendent, bike room, pet spa, and an underground parking garage with EV charging at each spot. The building is LEED Gold and Energy Star certified and positioned within Forest Hills’ tree-lined, quasi-European village near Austin Street retail and the Kew Gardens–Union Turnpike subway, combining green surroundings with easy Manhattan access.
