Question: How do you know when an estate agent/broker is talking shite? Answer: When their lips are moving. Honestly who would want to swim and try to relax there when the train line goes right past the pool window? Even worse with the 4,000^2ft patio, at least the pool has windows to stop the noise but you have a snowflake's chance in hell at stopping the train sound on an exposed patio
So right. It's so mediocre, sterile, boring. It's amazing that these developers are so bad and lack creativity. Also, fun bit is that the huge terrace is probably a nightmare, you can hear the car tires and traffic even in this video lol, no one would spend time there
I Sincerely believe these spaces are not Pleasant to live in at all. Low Ceiling heights, Radial Planning, Artificial Cooling and No connection to the Freshness of the nature. This could be a good place for a One day visit but not as a Home.
majority of residents in this building thus far are chinese immigrants (mainly students) and a *LOT* of them come from money. I was talking to a few NYC natives (i'm also a native) and this hispanic ones said they felt unwanted due to what they deemed "judgmental stares" and the baseless complaints they got while living there. Didn't happen too often (because everyone works) but the times it did they felt uncomfortable every time.
6:45 Imagine coming home from a long night, your phone is dead, and you have to sleep drunk curled up outside your door because you don't have physical keys.
Looking at their web site, I see you can get a 437 square foot studio apartment for $740,715. Tiny doesn't even begin to cover these apartments; even the penthouses were small and cramped. What probably shocked me most was that the building had a communal laundry room; you're paying that much and you don't even get a washing machine?
@@heliolux6904 There's ridiculously expensive and then there's just plain nuts. For substantially less than the price of the cheapest studio apartment in this building (in which even the penthouses are small and cramped), you can get a 4 bedroom house and garden just a few miles outside of New York city.
One modest apartment unit having a 4,000sqft terrace (5:05) is so wildly excessive that it seems more of a building design flaw than perk. Would also be weird having hundreds of units towering above and watching down on you lol.
That unit would be excellent for a caterer to use as a business purchase to stage promos, gatherings, groups and the kitchen would be used for catering/heating food and I want to add if you purchased the apartment next door or on either side of this one as well, there would be much more space and it could be a mid level penthouse at a much cheaper cost with massive outdoor space.
@@lukamagicc the most expensive house in the world isn’t a lot cheaper. May be possible that a new construction penthouse would cost that much. Which would be absolutely ridiculous
If I were rich enough, I would never spend millions of dollars to have a cramped apartment like that one: low ceilings and tiny kitchen!I think life quality is a whole different matter
@@lokeshloki8628 Considering the area of this location it's not a bad deal if needing to get around the city without driving. Multiple public transit access within 10 minutes of the building, waterfront parks, walking distance to the Queensboro bridge and etc.
As a construction estimator, I can assure you that these apartments are definitely not as luxurious as they make it. Windows aren’t full height, melamine insides to joinery, non-integrated Bosch cooktops/oven (rather than Gaggenau, Wolf, or any other remotely luxury brand), thin reconstituted stone bench tops, cheap pull-out range hood, low ceilings, engineered timber floorboards, cheap in-wall mechanical vents (they didn't even bother to hide them in the bulkheads), the toilet suite has an attached cistern rather than in-wall, doors are stock standard with painted folded metal door frames... too many to list. Value Management options were taken up by the developer wherever possible to cut costs. You're paying for the view here, and not much more
I don’t know much about construction and I can see that it’s cheaply made. It looks just like every other “luxury” match stick high-rise all over the city. Except this one is in queens.
Well I'm used to call condos and lofts home. Unless you are a true billionaire the sheer size of a single family house can actually be a huge burden, like lawn mowing and snow shoveling. In those luxury condo complexes you'll NEVER have to do that. The management got u covered. Not to mention usually you'll have to live in the far flung suburbs to afford such a huge house, which means no walkable amenities nearby. If u actually come and visit the neighborhood you'll be shocked by how convenient this place is.
Does anyone else think it's weird that they gave one apartment so much outdoor terrace space? It would've made more sense if that level/section was a communal outdoor space with fake grass and a variety of seating and plants. That way it adds more value to every apartment, not just that one.
Weird is the guy who wears pink socks and has to show them off! He has some serious problems he must cry when his wife makes him take them off to shower once a week crying "mommy its not my fault please dont hurt me"

All of it, all of the units. Made me feel better about where I live. The price of our home is not entirely on the property, it’s based on where the property is located. I would not be willing to pay that much, to live in such a small space, just to say, I live in the tallest building in queens.
I was horrified to see the train! My husband & I purposely moved far away from trains with every house we have bought, & with this last house, we moved away from people, too. Peace & quiet 🙏
This building has 802 units and after looking online, its asking price is $1.090 billion which means break even per unit has to be 1.359m. For that small amount of square footage in the US, that much money can get you so much more in places even like Staten Island.

I’d tell them to tear it town and build one for a rich person. This is a waste of money and I’d fire the developer and everyone else involved. Glass and steel doesn’t a luxury building make.
Have to say, growing up in London in the 70's and 80's, the last place on earth anyone wanted to live was a poky high-rise that was over-promoted by a developer but ended up being awful to live in and completely divorced from their actual neighbourhood, which gradually got worse and worse as a result. It was a social policy disaster. So it is really interesting to see it pitched as the ultimate luxe for the ultra-wealthy.

@Mellitus Osinachi Wow I'm really shocked you just mentioned Mr Jay Pelle FX, he is a life saver when it comes to crypto currency. For I am a living testimony for his good and great strategies on trading.
Insane what you have managed to achieve in 6 years. Almost everyone underestimates what can be done in 5-10 years and just see their short-term progress that may seem insignificant and then give up. But you're a clear example that perseverance pays off!
What really bugs me is that huge column taking up so much space in an already tiny room. That's such a massive design flaw in my opinion. It also seems like pretty bad advertising to tell people where they can knock out walls (on their own dime) because otherwise they're left with two tiny rooms that are pretty useless on their own.
Yes ! Of course you have to come back when its all finished. I would watch a 100 hours video of this just to get all those details of every single room.
I'm an Architect and I don't see any "LUXURY" in the design of those apartments, except the reception area, especially the penthouse, It's more like a hotel room than a home :)) So the rich people who live in NYC love to sleep on the terrace than a king size bed in a comfortable bedroom, or just because the bedroom is too small so they have to sleep outside
New Yorkers love living in tight quarters. My claustrophobia would kill me in that apartment. Can't beat the views, and the ability to remodel the penthouse helps
What is the price range for a two bedroom apartment? $1 Billion for the entire building, but what about the individual units? It's lovely with amazing views, but still... Queens...
Usually it's around low to mid $1M. Also, as u can see this neighborhood is unlike any other part of Queens, it's completely urban and walkable. It's actually more like Manhattan, but not as noisy and messy, and even much newer.
Erik! I love you content, it would be great to see some more on the "business" side of things, if you could talk a little about how investors pool capital together to construct a building, how contractors are hired etc, how the sales process for units work, and generally the "behind the scenes" explainer for the entire thing. I'm sure others would love to learn as well!
Hey Erik! I've been on a morning binge of these videos, and as a minimum wage worker in California, this is really inspirational. Have you ever done or considered doing a video on how you got where you are? I'd love to see something like that.
@@nombre1248 And it's usually how you get some great deals. Like literally 10% off at least sometimes. Which is a lot considering that it's usually worth a million.
Glad I have a fear of heights, and a severely tight budget at the moment so I can see these crazy apartments and remember how lucky I am to have the view I want for a penny in comparison to these ppl lol
Yo I'm curious about those really high terraces... Is it difficult to breath up there like it would in a high-altitude area up in some mountains? Also, are there powerful gusts up there? Like what if your patio furniture gets blown away during a storm? Lol. And do you have any footage of what it looks like with fog or clouds? Does it rise up high enough to break through the clouds or would they still be above you? I'm not privy on the climate of New York so maybe a lot of my questions are not applicable but I am curious!
I lived in New York City for 27 years. Why anyone to pay that kind of money to live in Long Island City is a mystery. The trains are jammed to hell, getting in and out of the city by car from there is not that much better and the neighborhood stinks, unless you want to get hit by a car. "Oh my gosh you can watch the 7 train go by!!! Being that close to the train was once just reserved for the poor." Greedy real estate developers have destroyed that once fantastic city.
Yes! I've been watching since the beginning. It's crazy. I remember the video where you explain how the pipes heat up the small apartment and you couldn't control it so you had to open the window during winter to cool down the apartment. Also remember your bike commutes. Do you still go to that sushi place you always use to go to?
Every time I see extremely large home, I can't help but associate it with an office or a hospital, all the homeness just go away with the size and uniformity.

3:50 and everyone on the train can see you in your swimgear too, I assume? When exactly in this video does the billion pay off I wonder. Edit: Nevermind, it's clickbait. Those apartments do not cost 1 billion, more like the building does.
This building is selling pretty well. So the answer is yes. People still 'clamor' to live in NYC. Especially for those ppl who are sufficiently rich but not super rich. (That's y UWS/UES is still pretty much DEAD in my mind).
According to my knowledge you usually get around 2 or 3 %(correct me if I am wrong) and there was about 10 or 12 ppl representing it so abt 1 mil each?
These units are some of the most underwhelming that ive ever seen at this level. Developers should have consulted a real Interior decorator and the broker from the point of planning

I love that Luxury Real Estate continues to do stuff like this when the rest of the world is getting worse. When The Hunger Games came out, we all thought, "well, that's just too weird bc it could NEVER happen!" But every year, I'm reminded that it is possible.

you need an app? So what happens when you leave your phone in the apartment? or it dies? can the building owner or some manager in there just hit a button and you're no longer allowed in your room?

returning to regular uploads!
Nice
Insane what you have managed to achieve in 6 years. Almost everyone underestimates what can be done in 5-10 years and just see their short-term progress that may seem insignificant and then give up. But you're a clear example that perseverance pays off!
GOD - and probably working 24/7-still he is very ambitious.
GOD BLESS YOU ERIK. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE! IT IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ! WOW! WOW! WOW! 🙏
Wtf are u smoking WOW WOW WOW stop the cocaine it’s shit
Sales for this building started in 2019 and there are still dozens of units for sale as of today...
I'm not surprised, seeing this mediocre build and interior quality.
@@martonschiffer7941 100% the space in the apartments are small.
Small space
If it was worth it, they wouldn’t need to promote it on TH-cam. No way the building is worth 1B.
Most expensive places need a long time to find a buyer, but yeah it doesnt really worth it
"So exclusive it's still under construction"
I'm going to try that one!
What really bugs me is that huge column taking up so much space in an already tiny room. That's such a massive design flaw in my opinion. It also seems like pretty bad advertising to tell people where they can knock out walls (on their own dime) because otherwise they're left with two tiny rooms that are pretty useless on their own.
Agreed. Put the f****ing columns outside the building.
Yes ! Of course you have to come back when its all finished. I would watch a 100 hours video of this just to get all those details of every single room.
We will be doing a tour of the neighborhood as well
So you would live next to a train going by and building around you. Just be homeless and you get the same thing sucker.
You can buy entire texas still left with 900 million or something lol!! 😂
I think about price COMPS to other areas in the USA all the time, its wild
I'm an Architect and I don't see any "LUXURY" in the design of those apartments, except the reception area, especially the penthouse, It's more like a hotel room than a home :)) So the rich people who live in NYC love to sleep on the terrace than a king size bed in a comfortable bedroom, or just because the bedroom is too small so they have to sleep outside
maybe the one BIlliON was a code for something 🤷🏻♀️
It'll be a tough sell because it's Queens. As long as the prices reflect that, then sales should go well.
Damn, when I see those views as a photographer I just have to think how great this will look during blue hour when the city lights come on. Wow
New Yorkers love living in tight quarters. My claustrophobia would kill me in that apartment. Can't beat the views, and the ability to remodel the penthouse helps
What is the price range for a two bedroom apartment? $1 Billion for the entire building, but what about the individual units? It's lovely with amazing views, but still... Queens...
The cheapest is $660,000 for 800 square feet.
Usually it's around low to mid $1M. Also, as u can see this neighborhood is unlike any other part of Queens, it's completely urban and walkable. It's actually more like Manhattan, but not as noisy and messy, and even much newer.
Erik! I love you content, it would be great to see some more on the "business" side of things, if you could talk a little about how investors pool capital together to construct a building, how contractors are hired etc, how the sales process for units work, and generally the "behind the scenes" explainer for the entire thing. I'm sure others would love to learn as well!
I love the views of the skyline building. Awesome
Just want to say congrats on making out of that tiny apartment. You deserve it and worked for it.
Finally a building that fits my budget! Then, I woke up!
That hatch app locking system just seems vulnerable to being hacked. Is there a mechanical lock as well that can't be unlocked with the app?
... this guy is making it sound like having a balcony is somehow the most impressive thing about this building XD
Hey Erik! I've been on a morning binge of these videos, and as a minimum wage worker in California, this is really inspirational. Have you ever done or considered doing a video on how you got where you are? I'd love to see something like that.
Great video. Thanks. Where did you pick up those fab suits from sir? Thanks again.
lol didn't realize i had been watching this guy since middle school and now im a whole freakin adult
The only reason you would sell a partially built skyscraper is if you are going bankrupt….

@@nombre1248 And it's usually how you get some great deals. Like literally 10% off at least sometimes. Which is a lot considering that it's usually worth a million.
Hello crystal how are you doing?
Amazing! Another super mega rich building that will stay empty for years while people are struggling to pay rent. Very awesome.
People be like Who ever buys this must me dumb af.Keep that in mind that If he can afford to buy this house, He at least earns 10x more in a year

*or they , them, zie, sie ... Blah blah...
Glad I have a fear of heights, and a severely tight budget at the moment so I can see these crazy apartments and remember how lucky I am to have the view I want for a penny in comparison to these ppl lol
6:43..so if you damage or lose your phone your not getting in apartment 🤯
bro im just gonna say this again but erik is rocking that grey suit real damn well
Yo I'm curious about those really high terraces... Is it difficult to breath up there like it would in a high-altitude area up in some mountains? Also, are there powerful gusts up there? Like what if your patio furniture gets blown away during a storm? Lol. And do you have any footage of what it looks like with fog or clouds? Does it rise up high enough to break through the clouds or would they still be above you? I'm not privy on the climate of New York so maybe a lot of my questions are not applicable but I am curious!
Lol. To answer your questions: no, no, and no. It is really not very high.

Great production quality. Underwhelming (tiny) apartment for a $1 billion building.

@@erikvanconover still tiny
@@erikvanconover small price to pay for salvation
I lived in New York City for 27 years. Why anyone to pay that kind of money to live in Long Island City is a mystery. The trains are jammed to hell, getting in and out of the city by car from there is not that much better and the neighborhood stinks, unless you want to get hit by a car.
"Oh my gosh you can watch the 7 train go by!!! Being that close to the train was once just reserved for the poor."
Greedy real estate developers have destroyed that once fantastic city.
What a masterpiece! The price maybe unimaginable to many but to the haves and the elite, the price is right! Enjoy life, shaLom!
lmao i love how larger the balcony is then the apartment
Yes! I've been watching since the beginning. It's crazy. I remember the video where you explain how the pipes heat up the small apartment and you couldn't control it so you had to open the window during winter to cool down the apartment. Also remember your bike commutes. Do you still go to that sushi place you always use to go to?
The odds of Erik replying your question are similar to you buying one of those apartments 🤣
@@alexplus3 I'd say they're much higher :)
Hell yeah! please come back here when it's completed!

I actually thought his content was better then...more authentic. His travels were the best!
Definitely come back when it's done. Also, if that penthouse is $1 Billion, it's not worth it.
The entire price of all of the units in the building is $1B Penthouses start at $4M
@@erikvanconover ohhhh ok. That makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying 🙂
@@erikvanconover I believe he didn’t get it, 🤔 I’m viewing the PH Friday 😎
Come on man lol... the $500million in Bel Air is probably not worth $500 and someone would buy it for less than $200M most likely.. there's no way the penthouse is even close to $200M lol

3:50 and everyone on the train can see you in your swimgear too, I assume?
When exactly in this video does the billion pay off I wonder.
Edit: Nevermind, it's clickbait. Those apartments do not cost 1 billion, more like the building does.
This video shows me that I’m broke in many different languages 😭
Love to see it when finished.
Serious question: Are people still clamoring to live in NYC or will this be a hard sell?
This building is selling pretty well. So the answer is yes. People still 'clamor' to live in NYC. Especially for those ppl who are sufficiently rich but not super rich. (That's y UWS/UES is still pretty much DEAD in my mind).
That's going to be my pent house one day 🤗
that terrace is everything
I love how convincing he is even though 99.999% of the people watching this can't afford it
jesus christ! imagine the commision hes gonna receive from this
What's your estimate?
@@sageyessirnorthcut7361 a lot of money
I would think 1-1.5% would make sense
According to my knowledge you usually get around 2 or 3 %(correct me if I am wrong) and there was about 10 or 12 ppl representing it so abt 1 mil each?
for what i understood all the agents sell each apartment seperatly, so he would only get commision on the ones he sells
Did anyone else follow this channel when it was just him and his girlfriend broke living in New York trying to score modelling gigs? Crazy.
Imagine your phone dies so you can’t get your door unlocked 😆
These units are some of the most underwhelming that ive ever seen at this level. Developers should have consulted a real Interior decorator and the broker from the point of planning

The rooms are way too small !??
I‘m confused to why you seem so positive about every aspect of these apartments when it‘s clearly a very uncomfortable space.
How much did you get paid?
I would love to see it when it's all complete ❤🔥

"Exclusively representing.. alongside an incredible team of top agents.." I think this dude doesn't know what exclusive means.

I love that Luxury Real Estate continues to do stuff like this when the rest of the world is getting worse. When The Hunger Games came out, we all thought, "well, that's just too weird bc it could NEVER happen!" But every year, I'm reminded that it is possible.

you need an app? So what happens when you leave your phone in the apartment? or it dies? can the building owner or some manager in there just hit a button and you're no longer allowed in your room?
