Radiant LIC Completes Construction at 24-01 Queens Plaza North in Long Island City, Queens
Construction is finished on Radiant LIC, a 19-story residential building at 24-01 Queens Plaza North in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by ODA New York and developed by New Empire Corporation, the 115,000-square-foot structure yields 117 condominium units in studio to two-bedroom layouts. The project also includes 2,738 square feet of commercial space and a suite of amenities. The property is alternately addressed as 41-45 24th Street and is located on an 8,967-square-foot lot at the corner of 24th Street and Queens Plaza North.
The entire façade was installed since our last update just over one year ago, when crews were still framing out the structure with metal studs and insulation boards. The building stands completely enclosed in its assembly of ridged beige metal cladding over its flowing cubic massing, which features numerous setbacks, cantilevers, and pocketed cutouts topped with terraces.

Amenities include an outdoor courtyard with ping pong, a sauna, karaoke room, screening room, pet spa, and a double-height fitness center and adjacent indoor basketball court. There is also a top-level amenity lounge complete with a chef’s kitchen, a coworking space, game room, children’s playroom, and an adjacent rooftop terrace featuring an outdoor grilling station and views of the Midtown skyline and the Queensboro Bridge.
New Empire Corporation acquired the corner site for $26 million. Paris Forino was the interior designer for the project, and Bethony Shen of Nest Seekers Development Marketing and One Realty Global are in charge of sales and marketing. The 2,738 square feet of commercial space spans the ground floor and cellar level and includes two courtyards.
The development is a short walk from the 7, N, and W trains at the elevated Queensboro Plaza station.
