The Orchard – which at 70 tales and 823 ft is the tallest building in Queens – can boast of two milestones.
Its 824 rental residences just handed the 90% leased mark after just 10 months of advertising. And it signed its first retail tenants — Okay-beauty model Tokimo, Japanese tea and beverage model Mollytea, and financial tech firm Intuit. The three tenants will have practically 7,500 sq. ft mixed, practically all of the project’s retail space.

Construction completed last yr, and the building is expected to open by early 2027.
The Orchard, which started receiving condo tenants earlier this yr, towers above the booming residential district in Long Island City close to the foot of the 59th Street Bridge.
It surpassed close by Skyline Tower’s 778-foot peak as the borough’s tallest tower, and is the metropolis’s second-tallest building outside Manhattan, topped only by Brooklyn Tower.
The project consists of more than 100,000 sq. ft of facilities including a 60,000 square-foot landscaped recreation space, said to be the metropolis’s largest personal “backyard.”
Of 824 residences, 576 will be market-rate and 248 reasonably priced. The building started receiving condo tenants earlier this yr. Binyan Studios
