As seen inThe Wall Street Journal★ 92 reviews on Google

Echelon is a 54-residence condominium on Jackson Avenue with a roof deck, gym and attended entrance. Its 13-story form puts a relatively small ownership inventory above one of Long Island City's principal streets. The upper portion steps back, producing a different exterior profile and outdoor opportunities from the lower floors.

The condominium was formed in 2007, with Jackson Avenue Realty LLC as sponsor. Its original construction belongs to the neighborhood's earlier wave of purpose-built condominiums. The building now has an established resale history and apartments with different renovation histories, including homes that retain original layouts and homes adapted by later owners.

The residential 421-a benefit has expired. It began in 2009 and last appeared on the 2024 roll. A resale here therefore carries a different tax position from an apartment bought during the original benefit period, independently of any changes to common charges.

Architecture and unit composition

The exterior has a two-tone composition and a setback above the eighth floor. Large windows serve the apartments, and selected residences have terraces. The smaller upper floor plate creates different room arrangements from those in the broader lower portion of the building.

The inventory includes one-bedroom and larger homes, with some layouts incorporating an office or dining area. Open living spaces, stainless-steel kitchen appliances and in-unit laundry were part of the residential program. After nearly two decades of individual ownership, current kitchen and bathroom finishes depend on the particular residence.

Some larger apartments have two bathrooms, while compact homes offer a smaller overall purchase and operating footprint. Bedroom count alone does not capture the usable space: an additional office, a broad living room or a separate dining area can materially change how an apartment functions. Interior dimensions should be described directly in a resale presentation.

Terraced homes form a distinct subset of the inventory. The exterior space can extend along a room or occupy a setback, with different proportions and access points. A long, narrow terrace serves a different use from a deeper outdoor dining area, even when the total exterior area is similar.

The roof deck is common space and is available independently of whether an apartment has its own terrace. Upper-floor outlooks can extend toward the East River and Manhattan, while lower rooms relate more closely to Jackson Avenue and neighboring buildings. The particular window direction establishes the outlook.

Building operations

The building has an attended entrance, resident superintendent, fitness room and shared roof deck. Bicycle storage and garage facilities are also present. The service package is substantial for an association of 54 residences, with the staff and common facilities supported by a smaller ownership base than in a large tower.

The condominium includes nonresidential interests in addition to the apartments. DOF records 30 Class 4 unit lots alongside the 54 residential lots. These should not be counted as additional homes, and any garage or storage interest included in a sale should be identified separately from the residential unit.

Residential Class 2 assessment growth is uncapped. With the original 421-a term complete, the tax line needs to reflect the post-benefit assessment. The building's early sales literature and old resale advertisements describe ownership costs from a different stage of the tax program.

Facade safety — Local Law 11

Local Law 11 / FISP · last inspection 2020–25
Safe
What this means for you

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $924/sf (floor-adjusted) across 3 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 1.5% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying

Distinguish residential space from separate interests. The property's nonresidential lots and ground-floor common facilities have different legal roles. A proposed purchase that includes parking, storage or another ancillary interest should identify that interest and its common-charge allocation explicitly.

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.
