Gotham Point

Gotham Point is a two-tower rental apartment development at 1-15 57th Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, built and managed by the Gotham Organization. It is part of the Hunters Point South plan, the city-initiated redevelopment of a former industrial tract on the East River, and a substantial share of its apartments are set aside as income-restricted affordable housing.

The towers stand at the southern tip of the Hunters Point peninsula, wrapped by Hunters Point South Park and its waterfront esplanade, with open views across Newtown Creek and the East River toward Manhattan and Brooklyn. The 7 train at Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue, the Long Island Rail Road at Hunterspoint Avenue and the Hunters Point NYC Ferry landing all serve the immediate area.

Completed in 2022, the two towers hold 1,132 apartments, the taller rising 57 stories, which makes Gotham Point the largest building in Hunters Point. Most of its apartments are income-restricted and leased through the city’s housing lottery at a range of income levels, making it one of the largest single sources of new affordable housing on the Queens waterfront.

Residents have the park and esplanade on two sides and open water views that no future building can block. The trade-off is distance: the 7 train is a walk of several blocks, though the ferry landing is close by and reaches East 34th Street and Wall Street directly.
