Construction has officially wrapped up for Link Apartments QPN, a 26-story housing complex with 417 units at 41-46 27th St. in Long Island City.

Exterior work on the property was completed in July, a little over a year after the building was topped out in May 2024. Leasing launched for Link Apartments QPN last April. As of mid-August, there are eight available units being shown off on Link Apartments QPN’s website, ranging in starting monthly rental price from $4,250 to $7,995.

The 417 units, which range in size from studios to two-bedroom units, include 126 affordable units. In addition to these units, the property also features 7,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and over 35,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities.

Among the amenities available in each unit are luxury plank flooring, washers, dryers, complementary window treatments, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, full-height quartz backsplashes, soft-close cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, tilted wet walls and skyline views. The complex is also pet-friendly.

The building is now completely enclosed by a charcoal-hued brick facade. It also surrounds a fenestration of staggered windows on the broad northern and southern elevations of the building and frames a glass curtain wall located on the narrow eastern and western faces. The base of the property also features an entrance to the Queensboro Plaza subway station.

Grubb Properties purchased 41-46 27th St. in 2021 for $63 million. Shortly after acquiring the property, they managed to secure a 20% floor area bonus in exchange for making upgrades to the entrance of the Queensboro Plaza subway station. These upgrades included making a new street-level entry point, a new staircase and a new ADA-compliant elevator.

While Grubb Properties developed Link Apartments QPN, the 311-foot-tall building was designed by Handel Architects.
