Alta LIC

With its doors opening in late 2018 ALTA LIC is not only one of the newest rental buildings in Long Island City, but also one of the most luxurious. We’d even go as far as to say it’s one of our favorites in the neighborhood thanks to offering some genuinely stunning luxury apartments for rent at prices that seem quite reasonable. Compared to other new luxury rental properties in Long Island City, the residences at ALTA are attractively priced, to say the least. And with Amazon scrapping plans for HQ2 in the neighborhood you can safely assume they won’t skyrocket anytime soon. Apartments at ALTA LIC are well-appointed with high-end, condo level finishes and fixtures. Highlights include wide-plank oak flooring, in-home Bosch washer, and dryers in every unit, contemporary bathrooms, and sleek kitchens that feature custom designer cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, porcelain tile backsplashes, and stainless steel Whirlpool and Blomberg appliances. Many homes also feature elegant touches including windowed kitchens, master bathrooms with double vanities, and oversized closets. ALTA LIC strives to be more than just a building to call home, and it’s 27,000 square feet of amenity space make it feel more like a city within a building. What feels like an endless amount of amenities are split up into four categories by the property: the Alta Retreat, Lounge, Deck, Cube, and Pet Club. The retreat consists of a 10,000 square foot state of the art fitness center, a movement studio, indoor pool, and an 18-hole golf simulator. The Lounge includes a 43rd-floor sky lounge and landscaped roof deck that offers stunning views of New York City and is equipped with a catering kitchen and fireplace making it the perfect place to entertain or enjoy a lovely sunset after work. The Deck is a 38th floor landscaped terrace that is equipped with barbecue grills, patio furniture, and an outdoor movie theatre.
