Vordonia Towers

Roosevelt Island lies directly across the channel from Vordonia Towers, a 15-story development at 34-46 Vernon Boulevard in Ravenswood, on the Astoria-Long Island City border. The Durst Organization, one of the most active developers in western Queens and the builder of 10 Halletts Point a short distance north and Sven near Queens Plaza, is on record as owner. Completed in 2021, it holds 404 apartments, many with river views.

It is one of the new residential buildings on the Vernon Boulevard corridor along the East River shore, between Socrates Sculpture Park to the north and the Queensboro Bridge to the south, in a quieter setting than the tower clusters further south. The Noguchi Museum is a short walk away at Vernon Boulevard and 33rd Road, and Socrates Sculpture Park and Rainey Park are a few blocks north along the water, with Astoria Park beyond.

The N and W stop at Broadway and at 36th Avenue on 31st Street, the F stops at 21st Street-Queensbridge, and the Q103 bus runs along Vernon Boulevard.
