Crescent Tower at 30-55 Crescent St is debuting 18 new condos in Astoria, with prices beginning at $1.4 million. The first public showings will be held this Saturday, marking a new wave of upscale inventory for northwest Queens.

The new Crescent Tower development, rising seven stories on 24th Avenue and Crescent Street, delivers rare new construction condos to Astoria, a market dominated by older co-ops and rentals. The developer, CitiView Real Estate, told NYC Pulse that every unit features floor-to-ceiling windows, private outdoor space, and Bosch appliances. According to CitiView principal Rita Choudhury, the project’s design “channels classic prewar Astoria, with a modern twist.”

First showings are scheduled for Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, June 9, with appointments filling fast, according to Compass listing agent Samir Mikhail. “We’ve already got over 30 prospective buyers from Queens and Manhattan lined up to see the model unit,” Mikhail said. Amenities include a communal roof deck with Manhattan views, package room, and on-site parking for an extra fee.

Astoria’s condo stock remains tight: Streeteasy lists just 35 condos available across the neighborhood this week, compared to over 120 in Long Island City. Crescent Tower’s two-bed, two-bath layouts are aimed at buyers priced out of the LIC luxury market. Early buyers can expect occupancy by October.
