LIC’s Yard more than half sold

Long Island condominium the Yard is now 51 percent sold, according to Modern Spaces, which has been marketing the apartments at the 12-story building since sales launched in February.

“The Yard has been selling steadily since before we broke ground. We have been very fortunate with the building’s success and buyers appreciate the design and high-end finishes the Yard has to offer,” said Eric Benaim, CEO and president of Modern Spaces. “The building clearly hit a note with buyers and we hope to continue to welcome new residents to this exciting and dynamic neighborhood.”
