The tallest building in Queens topped out this week at over 823 feet. Developed by BLDG Management Company and designed by Perkins Eastman, the Orchard is a 70-story rental in Long Island City with 824 studio to three-bedroom apartments, 248 of which are designated as affordable. Located at Orchard Street and Jackson Avenue in the Court Square section of the neighborhood, the rental boasts over 100,000 square feet of amenities, including a huge backyard with a swimming pool, three pickleball courts, an outdoor movie theater, and more.
The backyard also features a running track and several green spaces, including an orchard grove, children’s playground, yoga terrace, dog park, and private cabanas with grills and fire pits.
Located on the 70th floor, the sky lounge offers stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, a bar, a chef’s kitchen, and a private dining area.
Wellness and fitness amenities include an indoor pool, a regulation-size basketball court, a multi-sport simulator, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a spa with a steam room and sauna, and separate fitness studios.
Entertainment amenities include a game room with video games and an arcade, ping pong and billiard tables, and private screening and multimedia theaters with kitchenettes.
Residents who work from home can enjoy amenities such as conference rooms, work pods, meeting rooms, work lounges, a business center, and even a podcast studio.
The building also features a private porte-cochere entrance, a two-story parking garage with over 200 spaces, and 13,000 square feet of retail space along Jackson Avenue.
“With the Orchard, we’re not just building a building—we’re setting a new standard for luxury residences rich in premium amenities in Queens,” Lloyd Goldman, president of BLDG Management, said.
“Now officially the tallest tower in the borough, the Orchard is designed to offer residents an unparalleled living experience, from breathtaking views to over 100,000 square feet of amenities.”
Corcoran New Development is handling marketing and leasing for the Orchard, which is slated to begin welcoming residents in January 2026.
The Orchard joins the neighborhood’s other sky-high towers, like Lumin LIC, at 731 feet, Sven, at 755 feet, and Skyline Tower, at 778 feet.
