Leasing has officially launched for Hearthstone, a 354-unit luxury residential building at 34-35 44th St. in Astoria, with the first residents expected to move in before the end of October.
The leasing announcement was made by the national real estate development, investment and management firm Silverstein Properties. Leasing and marketing for the development is being handled by M.N.S. Real Estate, while the fully integrated real estate company Greystar is managing the property.
“The launch of Hearthstone represents a significant addition to Astoria’s evolving residential landscape,” Silverstein Properties CEO Lisa Silverstein said. “Hearthstone distinguishes itself through its thoughtful design and attention to detail, offering residents a refined living experience that is both comfortable and sophisticated.”
The units in Hearthstone range in size from one-bedroom to two-bedroom and from 445 square feet to over 1,200 square feet. Pricing for these luxury rental units starts at approximately $3,000 a month.
“Hearthstone introduces a new level of residential luxury to Astoria,” M.N.S. Real Estate CEO Andrew Barrocas said. “The development is a direct response to the increasing demand for high-quality living spaces in Queens, particularly in the vibrant Astoria neighborhood.”

The bathrooms feature a three-piece spa-like rain shower, porcelain tile flooring, and Robern medicine cabinets. Additionally, each unit is equipped with central heating and cooling, an in-unit washer/dryer, custom closet systems, and oversized windows that invite natural light.
