Jackson Park

Jackson Park is a rental apartment development at 28-10 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, developed by Tishman Speyer. It consists of three towers arranged around a large private landscaped park built for residents, on the block between Jackson Avenue and Queens Plaza.

The development sits between the Court Square and Queens Plaza transit clusters, with the 7, E, M and G at Court Square and the E, M and R at Queens Plaza, which together put Midtown Manhattan a stop or two away. MoMA PS1, the Long Island City office towers and Dutch Kills Green are immediately around, and the East River waterfront parks at Hunters Point are a walk southwest.

Completed in 2018 and designed by Hill West Architects, Jackson Park holds 1,871 apartments, making it the largest rental development in Queens in this index and one of the largest single rental projects built in New York in the 2010s. Its towers surround a landscaped private park with lawns, gardens and seating, which gives the development its name and a calm interior that contrasts with the busy avenues outside.

Jackson Park helped define the Court Square building boom that followed the area’s 2001 rezoning, and it sits at one of the best transit locations in Queens, a stop or two from Midtown on the 7, E or M. Its scale also means a wide range of apartment sizes and price points within a single address.
