The Zipper Building at 5-33 48th Ave. #2G

This premium 41-unit condominium residence resonates with the unmistakable rhythm of Long Island City. The neighborhood’s historical past comes into focus here in the building’s modern conversion from its life as a former zipper factory.

The Zipper preserves the character of its original early 20th-century structure, fitted with luxurious finishes and amenities that represent modern craftsmanship at its best. Retaining the authentic brick exterior, its construction harkens back to New York City at the Jazz Age. The Zippers conversion is a singular blend of historic and contemporary design, maintaining the original brick walls and wooden beams within the context of a striking present-day aesthetic.

The result is an elegant retrofit for your contemporary lifestyle, exceptionally located in the heart of Hunters Point.

The well-proportioned residences are available in studio to four-bedroom layouts. All feature open floor plan living, highlighted by engineered wood flooring, ample ceiling heights, and casement windows. Each intimate haven provides a respite from the bustling pace of urban life, elevated by an industrial color palette that ideally accommodates your individual taste level.

Stylish kitchens combine the clean lines of contemporary design with elegant functionality and classic details. Marble countertops and backsplash are complemented by the well-proportioned warm wood cabinetry, state-of-the-art ranges, high-end refrigerators, and dishwashers, along with Signature fixtures in a black matte finish.

Unwind in the spa-inspired master bathroom, gracefully designed with Carrera tiling, bespoke wood vanity, and matte black Signature fixtures. Secondary bathrooms are just as tranquil with porcelain tile flooring, beveled white subway tile walls, and similar vanities and fixtures.

Every residence is equipped with a washer/dryer for your convenience. More than just a fine collection of charming residences, The Zipper is truly a community. The building offers a comprehensive suite of amenities crafted to complement your lifestyle fully.
