Gantry State Park -- Solarium's Grassy LIC Jewel

Now that you've enjoyed the restaurants around the Solarium LIC condo neighborhood, it may be a good time for a walk in the park! Whether your aim is to exercise away the calories or to relax and digest, Gantry Plaza State Park adds stunning views to your agenda.

Acres and acres of landscaped park right along the East River, Gantry is lush with native grasses and features a wide plaza and 4 distinct piers for catching even-closer views of the Manhattan skyline. Picnic tables, ball fields and playgrounds top off this Long Island City neighborhood jewel. Spring and summer bring concerts and shows, and views of the Macy's 4th of July fireworks display from Gantry are spectacular!

Wondering about the park's name? A pair of gantries, which are old-fashioned shipping lifts, hover over the park: a reminder of the area's industrial and commercial roots.

Peninsula Park is the newer (even grassier!) addition to Gantry. Walk north to get there, and enjoy a game of frisbee or a barbecue.

Solarium LIC Condos: "Cool" In More Ways Than You Think!


There are many reasons why Solarium LIC condo residents enjoy the best of green living in their vibrant Hunter's Point, Long Island City environs. One of the most resourceful and eco-friendly features? A wind-powered turbine stationed right on the rooftop!

Blending aerodynamics and cutting edge mechanics, the Solarium’s wind turbine rises above the building’s architectural form while powering its common areas with efficient, renewable energy. As the turbine's propellers spin with the wind, electricity is produced by a special alternator. The result: a reliable alternative energy source that is pure and clean. Wind power technology releases no emissions into the environment and requires no non-renewable fuel to power it.

What's more, Solarium's residents are destined to pay less shared energy and maintenance costs than other condo owners in their LIC neighborhood. Today’s energy prices are high and continue to climb. Unlike natural gas and other renewable fuels, wind power can provide power at a fixed price for decades.

Each Solarium LIC condo utilizes the newest and most effective turbine technology, too. The Honeywell(R) wind turbine installed atop our luxury LIC real estate is powered by a "blade tip power system" that starts pumping energy production at wind speeds of a mere 2mph (while more traditional wind turbines begin production at around 7.5 mph). Contact our sales office for more information.
