Construction Tour: HERO - 24-16 Queens Plaza South
North facade.
Facade installation is nearing completion at Silverback Development’s HERO, a 23-story residential condo tower in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by Woods Bagot, the project includes the conversion of the existing five-story brick building and the addition of a 18-story tower above. The tower is clad in white metal panel and glass, with black metal panel accents that introduce a flowing movement to the facade. Balconies at the northwest corner of the tower add an organic contrast to the tower’s three other edges and offer panoramic views of Manhattan and Queens. Sales and marketing will be led by The Serhant Team at Nest Seekers International.
