From the January issue: In the incredibly dense neighborhood of Flushing in northeast Queens, a new crop of luxury condos has quietly sprouted.
Unlike other parts of the city, where developments conceived during
the boom have been converted to rentals, these new condos remain sales
developments. And they seem to be holding up better than other parts of
the borough, thanks, in part, to demand from a vibrant local Asian
community and recession-friendly prices. Although upscale condos still remain a fraction of Flushing’s
housing stock, new developments such as Sky View Parc, Residence 8, and
the Sequoia are slowly starting to reshape the neighborhood, the last
stop on the number 7 subway line.
