While real estate prices are expected to rise in Long Island City and the surrounding area due to Amazon’s impending move to the neighborhood, one listing has lowered its price. The most expensive apartment in the borough of Queens, located at 46-30 Center Boulevard, is on the market again, the New York Post reported. The penthouse, which sits just north of the Pepsi-Cola sign, is asking $3.65 million, less than the $4.25 million it was listed for in 2017. Soon after Amazon announced their move to Long Island City, interest in the neighborhood surged. As 6sqft previously reported, searches for residential apartments in the neighborhood are up 281 percent compared to the daily averages prior to the Amazon news.

In March, we learned that a taxi mogul was looking to set the record for most expensive single-family home ever sold in Queens, listing his Long Island City penthouse at 46-30 Center Boulevard for $5.4 million. Now, the Daily News reports that exactly six months later, the home has taken the title with a cash offer for an undisclosed amount. The three-bedroom apartment was last purchased in 2009 for just $2.5 million, including the home’s expansive wraparound terrace, exquisite dark wood floors, and cathedral ceilings.
