The Forge

By /
Building Categories: Court Square Queens

The Forge is a rental apartment tower at 44-28 Purves Street in Long Island City, Queens, developed by Brause Realty with the Gotham Organization. It sits on the short, dead-end block of Purves Street that runs between Jackson Avenue and Thomson Avenue, one of the densest clusters of new residential towers in the neighborhood.

The Court Square transit hub is a two-minute walk, where the 7, E, M and G trains meet, making this one of the fastest addresses in Queens for reaching Midtown or Downtown Brooklyn. MoMA PS1 and the Court Square office towers are immediately north, the Vernon Boulevard restaurants and the East River waterfront parks are west, and Sunnyside and Hunters Point sit on either side.

Completed in 2017, the 38-story tower holds 272 apartments and was developed by Brause Realty with the Gotham Organization, the same partners behind The Bold on Jackson Avenue. It stands on Purves Street across from Halo LIC in the heart of Court Square, a short walk from the 7, E, M and G.
