Leading Queens brokerage Modern Spaces is launching sales this week for The ELY, a brand new boutique condominium in Astoria where units range from $576,000 to $744,000.

The development will bring 14 luxury one-bedroom units to the Astoria market, which saw a significant rise in the number of units in contract in Q3 despite the pandemic. In fact, there were more than 30 potential buyers waiting for a peek at the project back in September.

Modern Spaces sales agent Gregory Kyroglou predicts that even as winter causes COVID concerns to rise, there will be an increase in demand for one-bedrooms in the outer boroughs like those at The ELY among singles and couples, as they offer:

• Private outdoor space for each unit via personal balconies

• In-unit washer/dryers for added convenience while sheltering-in-place

• Antimicrobial Quartz countertops, which allow for easy disinfecting
