Open-concept layouts and oversized triple-pane tilt-and-turn windows help to maximize natural light within Centric. The interiors also have wide plank 8-inch hardwood floors and chef’s kitchens that are adorned with marble countertops, textured tile backsplashes, chrome faucets and fully integrated Bosch appliances.

Centric is situated within close proximity to the Woodside train station, which services the 7 train and the Long Island Rail Road. There are also plenty of bars, restaurants and shops nearby along Roosevelt Avenue. An H Mart is located just blocks away and other notable nearby features within the neighborhood include the Lawrence Virgilio Playground, Doughboy Plaza and Sunnyside Gardens Park.

Since Centric is located on Queens Boulevard, that road, as well as the nearby I-278, allows for easy commutes to Long Island, LaGuardia Airport and JFK Airport.

Tang Studio Architect LLC and Whitehall Interiors are collaborating to showcase Centric as an elevated architectural design. The completed building will offer residents unobstructed skyline views of Manhattan.

The sales gallery for Centric can be found at 12-01 Jackson Ave. in Long Island City. This gallery is shared with that of Radiant, another new luxury condominium from New Empire Corp. The Bethoney Shen Team at Nest Seekers International is leading sales for Centric, with the boutique real estate firm One Realty being the marketing co-exclusive agent.

“The open concept and efficiently optimal yet spacious layouts create a uniquely airy and expansive feeling, while oversized windows complement to create the ideal contemporary living space and lifestyle for future residents,” Nest Seekers International Senior Vice President and Managing Director of New Development Michael Bethoney said. “The building’s amenities are exceptional and exceed what has been seen in Woodside, bringing a Manhattan or Long Island City style aesthetic to Woodside for the first time. Centric offers a top product, superior amenity package and a location that due to its express trains, plethora of shops and restaurants and tree-lined streets, is one of the most attractive neighborhoods and hidden gems in NYC. It is without question one of the most exciting locations in which to bring Centric to market. We believe strongly Woodside is the next central hub in Queens that will experience tremendous growth over the next few years, much like Long Island City over recent years.”

Terrible. Not only is it so out of place in this area, it will be blocking the view of so many apartment buildings already there. Only for the wealthy, this ugly monolith is the beginning of the end of affordability of Woodside, unfortunately.

Out of place? It is the exact same height and scale as Liberty Towers right next door. It fronts an 8+ lane stretch of Queens Boulevard… across from a cemetery. The only way out of a housing affordability crisis it to build more housing. This will add 131 housing units to the area, while displacing 0.
