Property Details

I’m relocating and looking for someone to take over my lease at The Forge, a luxury rental building at 44-28 Purves Street in Long Island City. This approximately 700 sq ft, unfurnished 1-bedroom faces the courtyard and is exceptionally quiet, even with the windows open.

At $4,058.73, this lease is approximately $541/month less, nearly 12% lower in base rent than similar 1bdrs in the area which are often smaller.

Lease details
- Move-in: November 22, 2026, potentially as early as November 15.

- Lease ends: May 25, 2027, with the option to renew.

- Monthly rent: $4,058.73.

- Amenity fee: $100/month, including gym and seasonal pool access.

- Total rent + amenities: $4,158.73/month, before separately billed utilities or services.

- Unfurnished and pet-friendly.

- Very spacious with big and deep closets

- Lease takeover is approved, subject to the applicant providing the required documentation and completing management’s approval process.

The apartment
A peaceful courtyard-facing home with an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer, AC in living and bedroom, European white oak flooring, quartz kitchen countertops, custom cabinetry, KitchenAid/Bosch appliances, dishwasher, and a modern bathroom. Approximately 700 square feet gives you room to settle in, with a shorter initial commitment and the option to stay longer.

The building
The Forge is tucked onto a quiet cul-de-sac, with extensive amenities:

- 24/7 concierge/doorman, live-in superintendent, and a package room with refrigerated storage.

- Fitness center and movement studio.

- Rooftop Sky Lounge and terrace with NYC skyline views.

- Landscaped courtyard, outdoor cinema, grilling and dining areas, and Hammock Park.

- Resident lounges, workspaces, and children’s playroom.

- Outdoor pool and terrace, open Memorial Day through usually early October. The next pool season begins after the initial lease term, making this a perk if you renew.

- On-site parking, bike storage, and individual storage options, subject to availability and additional fees.

The location
Trader Joe’s, Target, and Solidcore are nearby. Convenient access to the 7, E, F, and G at Court Square, plus the R at Queens Plaza, makes getting around easy. Grand Central is approximately a 10-minute ride on the 7.
