A selection of studio to four-bedrooms residences priced from $765,000 at Paragon Long Island City hit the market today. The stunning waterfront tower is nearing completion with occupancy slated for later this Fall.
The 182-unit tower is the first for-sale new development on the LIC waterfront in over a decade and the only new condo announced for this corner of LIC. Interiors showcase tactile materials with jaw-dropping NYC views seen through floor-to-ceiling triple-paned windows. Kitchens feature natural marble stone, full-height Estremoz Calacatta backsplashes and Bosch appliances. Penthouse kitchens offer Breccia Capraia backsplashes and Gaggenau appliance packages.
Key elements of this spectacular new development are rare double-height balconies, abundant public and private outdoor space, including green space connecting to the East River waterfront, and a comprehensive suite of popular amenities for the entire family.
“Paragon has been executed with precision and we are thrilled with early sales activity defined by locals eager to trade up,” said Jasper Wu, Vice President of ZD Jasper. “We have clearly filled a void in the market with our unique waterfront location and sophisticated design. Owners can look forward to move-ins as early as this November.”
Paragon’s aesthetic references Long Island City’s industrial past, and the project’s name is a nod to the original Paragon Paint Factory, whose structure is integrated into the building’s base.
“At Paragon, the interiors are designed around the way people actually want to live, creating spaces that feel considered but never overly formal,” says Elliot March, Co-Founder of MAWD | March and White Design. “We looked closely at the building’s architecture, natural light and waterfront setting to shape a material palette and proportions that feel both contemporary and comfortable.”
“Paragon really is the new Long Island City as it sets a new benchmark for all development to follow. The market has been waiting over ten years for this tower! I cannot say it enough, get in while you can,” adds Ryan Serhant, Founder and CEO of SERHANT.
Paragon features lifestyle amenities that rival any building in NYC, including an outdoor pickleball court, a state-of-the-art fitness center, golf simulator, children’s playroom and karaoke room. Residents will also enjoy a landscaped roof terrace with BBQ grills and a Sky Lounge with indoor/outdoor seating, all positioned under a functional solar canopy.
Homes include LATCH keyless entry systems and NEST learning thermostats. Additional conveniences include a 24-hour attended lobby, package room, Amazon Hub, bicycle storage and ground floor retail. Paragon boasts a large public-access component, featuring a waterfront park and a walkway that connects the neighborhood to the East River.
