Arris Lofts at 27-28 Thomson Ave. #525

Welcome to Residence 525 at Arris Lofts, where a full luxurious custom gut renovation meets 14-foot ceilings and the kind of loft volume newer construction cannot replicate. The interior has been rebuilt from the studs and finished to a standard rarely seen in Long Island City. This former two bed was converted to a 1 to allow maximum entertaining space.

The open living and dining area runs wide and flexible, anchored by a custom built-in bar that pairs warm wood cabinetry with stone surfaces, vertical slat detailing, floating black shelving, and integrated lighting. It reads as both a design centerpiece and a genuine entertaining space.

The kitchen is fully bespoke, with sage-toned cabinetry, stone counters and a matching stone backsplash, open shelving, stainless appliances, a full-height refrigerator, and under-shelf lighting.

Both bathrooms have been taken down to the studs and rebuilt with a moody, spa-like sensibility. The first wraps dark marble from floor to ceiling around a glass-enclosed shower, finished with matte black fixtures and a custom mirror vanity. The primary bath features a freestanding soaking tub, a floating green marble sink, a glass shower enclosure, green marble surfaces, and waterproof recessed lighting. The primary bedroom connects through a custom walk-in closet directly into the bath, forming a private suite.

Custom millwork, wide-plank flooring, a considered lighting plan, and generous storage carry through the residence, including custom barn doors on a newly built closet and a dedicated entry closet housing an in-unit washer and dryer.
Arris Lofts is a landmark Long Island City loft conversion offering the scale and character of an authentic loft alongside full-service condominium amenities, including a saltwater lap pool, sauna, fitness center, landscaped roof deck, Zen garden courtyard, playroom, recreation lounge, parking garage with valet, and 24-hour doorman and concierge.

Seven subway lines sit within a few blocks: the 7, E, M, and G at Court Square, the N and W at Queensboro Plaza, and the R at Queens Plaza, placing Manhattan one stop away. The surrounding dining is among the strongest in the borough, from Soothr for Thai and 4747LIC for a refined neighborhood dinner, to Lost in Paradise for rooftop cocktails, Westville for brunch, Manetta’s for Italian, and Gyu-Kaku for Japanese BBQ, with waterfront parks and quick Manhattan access rounding out the setting.
