Skyline 8 Condos: What the Offering Plan Says

Updated Oct 12, 2026 · 7 min read

Skyline 8 is a new eight-story, all-electric condo in Hunters Point with 113 homes, 23 deeded parking spaces and one retail unit. Its offering plan lists one- to three-bedroom homes from about $1 million to $2.9 million, Miele kitchens, a cellar full of shared amenities, common charges of a few hundred dollars a month and an environmental cleanup plan the condo will have to keep up.

In brief: Skyline 8 at 11-37 44th Drive is a new eight-story condo in the Hunters Point part of Long Island City, with 113 homes, 23 parking spaces and one ground-floor retail unit. Its offering plan lists one- to three-bedroom homes with Miele kitchens and a cellar of shared amenities, including a gym, saunas and a cinema. What sets it apart: the building has no gas at all, common charges are low at a few hundred dollars a month, there's no tax abatement, and the site sits on cleaned-up land the condo must keep monitoring.

What's Specific to It

• All electric. The building has no gas service. Heat, cooling, hot water and cooking all run on electricity, and each home pays its own electric bill.
• Bring your own washer and dryer. Every home has a laundry closet with hookups for a compact electric washer and ventless dryer, but the sponsor doesn't supply the machines.
• Deeded parking for owners only. The 23 covered spaces on the first floor are sold by deed at $115,000 each, only to residential owners, first come, first served.
• Environmental controls to maintain. The lot carries a hazardous materials "E" designation. After the cleanup, some soil with mercury above the cleanup target was allowed to stay under concrete. The condo will have to follow a Site Management Plan with yearly inspections.
• No tax break. No real estate tax abatement applies, and the plan warns taxes may rise sharply once the finished building is reassessed, expected in January 2028.
• The retail unit skips some costs. The commercial unit doesn't pay toward staff, common water, or gym equipment, which the plan says makes residential common charges "substantially higher."

At a Glance

• What it is: new construction on what was a vacant lot. A cellar, eight floors and two elevators. The sponsor expected construction to finish around December 15, 2026, with the first closing by January 1, 2027, possibly under a temporary certificate of occupancy.
• Size: 113 homes, 23 parking units and 1 commercial unit.
• Layouts: 62 one-bedrooms, 42 two-bedrooms and 9 three-bedrooms, from about 470 to 1,490 sq ft. No studios. Two townhouse-style homes on the first floor have rear yards.
• Offering prices: about $980,000 to $2.9 million in the original price list. These are asking prices, not sales.
• Common charges: roughly $250 to $810 a month, under the sponsor's first-year projection.

Finishes

Kitchens

Kitchens use Miele appliances "or equal": a French-door refrigerator (36-inch or 24-inch depending on layout), an electric cooktop, a wall oven and a dishwasher (Miele or Blomberg). The plan's schedule also lists a wine cooler. Cabinets are plywood with satin grey laminate, counters are quartz and the backsplash is ceramic tile. See kitchen appliance brands in NYC condos.

Bathrooms

Floors are tiled and walls are partly tiled. Bathrooms get custom vanities, a 72-inch linear shower drain and a circuit for heated floors (an electric mat). The plan lists fixture model numbers but not brand names.

Floors and outdoor space

• Floors: engineered red oak in living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens.
• Outdoor space: the two first-floor homes have rear yards, 22 homes on the second floor and penthouse level have roof terraces, and most homes on floors 3 to 8 have balconies. See private outdoor space in NYC condos.

Heating, cooling and hot water

• Heating and cooling: Daikin VRV electric heat pumps with a thermostat in each home. Each unit heats or cools, not both at once. More on condo heating and cooling systems.
• Hot water: each home has its own A.O. Smith electric water heater.
• Laundry: hookups only. Compare with in-unit washers and dryers.

Amenities

Nearly all shared spaces are in the cellar:

• Fitness: a gym of about 1,230 sq ft, plus a yoga room and a spinning room of about 280 sq ft each.
• Wellness: a sauna suite of about 740 sq ft with two saunas, a wet room and men's and women's locker rooms.
• Social: a lounge of about 420 sq ft and a 10-seat cinema of about 250 sq ft. The cellar plan also shows a play room labeled as a golf simulator room.
• Family and pets: a children's play area of about 310 sq ft and a small pet spa with a sink.
• Storage: 60 stackable storage spaces and a bike room with 57 racks.

Good to know: the plan says the gym, yoga, spin, sauna, lounge, cinema, children's area, storage and bike racks carry no usage fee and should be open when the condo starts operating. The gym equipment is rented, not owned. There's no pool and no roof deck for all residents; the main roof is a green roof.

Tip: storage spaces are shared common elements assigned on request, not owned. See condo storage: buy, rent or included and amenities by building size.

Staffing and Services

The budget pays for a small staff:

• 1 full-time superintendent who doesn't live in the building
• 4 full-time doormen, about 160 hours a week of door coverage

An intercom at the main entrance connects to each home. See what a doorman costs in an NYC condo for context.

What It Costs to Run

The sponsor projects a first-year budget of about $584,000 (calendar year 2027). Residential and parking owners carry about 96% of it. The biggest lines:

Staff is about a third of the budget. There's no gas line because the building has no gas. Water and sewer are budgeted at only $10,000, and repairs at $4,000.

Common charges run roughly $250 a month for the smallest one-bedroom to about $810 for the largest townhouse-style home. Estimated property taxes are higher than common charges, about $400 to $1,280 a month in year one. The plan's second-year tax estimates are roughly 50% higher. Read more on common charges and estimating condo property taxes.

Good to know: the budget sets aside 10% a year as a reserve for capital repairs. At closing you pay a working capital contribution of two months' common charges. The plan also says repairs to common areas aren't a budget line, so they could lead to special assessments. See condo reserve funds.

Fine Print Worth Knowing

• Environmental controls. A vapor barrier and a sub-slab depressurization system protect the building. The condo board takes over the Site Management Plan after the first closing, and the plan warns more work or monitoring could raise common charges.
• Lot line windows. Eighteen homes have one lot line window each. If the neighboring lot is built on, the window may be blocked and may need to be sealed, at about $1,500 per window paid by the owner.
• The sponsor may rent instead of sell. If offers fall at least 25% below list prices for six months, the sponsor can rent unsold homes. It only has to sell 17 homes to declare the plan effective.
• Size is measured generously. Square footage is measured to the outside of exterior walls and the middle of shared walls, so usable space is "significantly less" than listed.
• Late closing costs. If you miss your scheduled closing, you pay 0.03% of the price for each day of delay.
• Retail signs. The commercial unit can put up signs, including lit ones, on the front of the building without a board vote.

Who's Behind It

• Sponsor: 44LIC Development SP LLC, whose principals are Yevgeniy Lvovskiy and Lev Berenshteyn. They also sponsored LightSquare at 350 West 44th Street and several Brooklyn condos.
• Architect: Alexander Zhitnik, R.A., of Z Architecture PLLC
• Managing agent: FIDY Management Inc., not affiliated with the sponsor
• Selling agent: the sponsor itself
• Sponsor's counsel: Tsyngauz & Associates, P.C., which is also the escrow agent

The plan doesn't name an interior designer.
