Astoria West is a three-minute walk to the Manhattan ferry, and a short walk to the 30th Avenue subway station, serviced by the N and W trains. The residential development will also sit adjacent to Astoria’s art district with Socrates Sculpture Park, The Noguchi Museum, and the Welling Court Mural Project within walking distance.
Construction is expected to reach completion in the first half of 2022. The first temporary certificate of occupancy should be issued late this year.
