A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Sunrise Forest Hills would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
The Sunrise is a seven-story condominium with a brick-and-metal façade and 46 apartments near the Austin Street commercial district. Its layouts include one- and two-bedroom homes, apartments with dedicated office areas and larger penthouse combinations. Private outdoor space in selected homes supplements a shared roof deck.
The Attorney General accepted the condominium filing in December 2017, and the plan became effective in February 2018. The sponsor is 72nd Road Development Partners LLC. The filing separates 46 residences from two commercial units and one parking unit, establishing the residential and nonresidential components under the same condominium.
The building is marketed at 109-19 72nd Road, while city property records also use 109-17. Buyers encounter both addresses in its ownership and sales history. The location places the building between Queens Boulevard and Austin Street, with subway access at Forest Hills–71st Avenue and the Forest Hills Long Island Rail Road station nearby.
Architecture and unit composition
The exterior combines brick surfaces with metal elements and large windows. Inside, high ceilings, solid oak flooring and open living-and-dining areas form the common design vocabulary. Kitchens connect directly to the main rooms, and larger layouts provide two bathrooms alongside two bedrooms.
One-bedroom homes include compact plans of roughly 600 square feet and larger versions with additional interior space. Some apartments provide a separate home-office area. That office designation identifies a different layout feature from a fully enclosed additional bedroom.
Penthouses include two-bedroom homes with larger living areas and outdoor space. The original sales inventory also included a four-bedroom penthouse combination. The upper-floor apartments therefore cover several sizes and configurations; the penthouse label alone does not indicate a single standard floor plan.
In-unit washers and dryers, central heating and air conditioning and dishwashers appear in the residential inventory. Current apartments reflect both the original development interiors and later owner changes. The combination of large glazed openings and private terraces is particularly relevant on the upper floors, where exposures can extend beyond the immediate street wall.
Building operations
A virtual doorman provides entry service, supported by a superintendent. The elevator, gym and common roof deck are shared residential facilities. Garage parking forms a separately identified component of the condominium, and parking rights should accompany an apartment only when expressly included in the transaction.
The condominium's two commercial units sit outside the 46-residence count. Their participation in common expenses and the allocation of residential amenity costs are matters governed by the condominium structure. The three nonresidential tax lots correspond to a building with more than apartments alone.
The largest single owner holds four residences, approximately 9% of the residential inventory. Individual apartments are used both for ownership occupancy and for rental investment. A rental advertisement for a particular home does not change the building's condominium tenure.
No development tax abatement is identified in the current DOF record. Residential apartments are Class 2, with no assessment-growth cap. That current tax position is part of the cost of owning a newer condominium here.

At the recent median sale of $655K (9 sales since 2024), a buyer putting 25% down would pay about $26,154 to close, or 4.0% of the price.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
