The property includes 40,000 square feet of amenities, including a landscaped courtyard, fitness center, yoga and dance studio, co-working communal spaces, garden space, and a rooftop pool club and deck providing unparalleled views of the city skyline.
Astoria West’s apartments have been spaciously designed and utilize oversized windows to fill the living spaces with natural light. The unit’s living rooms and bedrooms feature 9-foot ceiling heights, wide plank style floors, central heating and cooling, and an in-home washer and dryer.
Kitchens feature custom walnut cabinetry, quartz countertops, and state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances. The apartment’s bathrooms include large shows, polished chrome fixtures, custom vanities, and deep soaking bathtubs.
