New Tower Becomes Tallest Building In Queens, Slated To Steal Outer-Borough Title From Brooklyn
Queens will soon be officially taller than Brooklyn.
Skyline Tower, a 67-story new development in Long Island City became the tallest building in its borough last week, surpassing the Citigroup Building, which stands at 673 feet.
Once it reaches its full 762 feet, likely to happen next month, Skyline will be higher in the sky than any other building outside Manhattan, snatching the title from Extell Development’s 720-foot Brooklyn Point in Downtown Brooklyn. The tower has also outranked Heatherwood Communities’ Tower 28, which at 637 feet was previously the tallest residential building in Queens.
