Studio 531 | 2-21 Malt Drive, Hunter's Point South
Waterfront Living, Reimagined
Nestled on the fifth floor of Long Island City's most coveted new address, this refined studio residence offers a serene retreat along the East River waterfront. Soaring ceilings and expansive walls of glass welcome natural light throughout the day, casting the open living space in a warm, ever-changing glow. Thoughtfully laid out to maximize every square foot, the home balances sleek functionality with quiet elegance - a gas range for the discerning cook, an in-residence washer and dryer, and finishes that speak to quiet luxury rather than fleeting trend.
Beyond your door, 2-21 Malt Drive offers a curated world of its own. Unwind on the landscaped rooftop terrace as the city lights emerge, or entertain by the grill under open sky. A fully appointed fitness center and dedicated training studio cater to a life in motion, while the HomeWork coworking lounge and the elegant Malt Lounge offer refined spaces to think, connect, and unwind. For those with four-legged companions, the building's connected amenities include dedicated pet care services and a resort-style outdoor pool shared between its two towers.
Set on 3.5 pristine acres of newly developed waterfront parkland - a rarity in this city - the residence places you moments from the Hunter's Point South esplanade, with its sweeping riverside promenade, and just minutes from midtown Manhattan by subway or ferry. This is waterfront living reimagined: elevated, effortless, and entirely its own.

In 2001, the city changed LIC's classification from commercial to residential. Since then dozens of new luxury apartments have been built here to support the growing population. LIC has become known as an artist haven as many museums, galleries, restaurants, and bars open their doors…
