This building has a long history. It was originally built in 1914 as an industrial building before later being converted into a 425,300 square-feet office building. The property is located within walking distance of the 7-train at the 33rd Street-Rawson Street station.

“Long Island City continues to grow as a thriving hub in Queens, offering an ideal environment for world-class education, innovation and growth,” Feil Organization Vice President of Real Estate Randall Briskin said. “We are grateful to continue our long-term relationship with LaGuardia Community College and look forward to another decade of success.”
