Now available for interested buyers, Orion Astoria, a new building on a leafy residential street by local developers Konstandinos “Gus” Vorillas, Thomas Ballis, and Chris Giannikouros, redefines modern living in this in-demand area of Queens. Newly constructed, this condominium is home to seven exquisitely designed one- and two-bedroom residences, each featuring private outdoor spaces. Residents will enjoy amenities like a keyless Latch entry system and a landscaped rooftop deck perfect for late summer stargazing.
Harriet Nikakis of HCN Architects, a renowned Astoria-based firm, designs new buildings that positively impact communities. The Orion’s exterior combines durability with elegance, showcasing a high- performance panel system, expansive moving window walls, and recessed balconies with glass railings. This contemporary facade makes a distinct architectural statement in Astoria’s dynamic residential landscape and highlights Nikakis’ deep understanding of the neighborhood.
“Orion, situated in the coveted heart of Astoria, is the perfect mix of upscale modernity and a sense of community, as you get the design sensibility of a larger building, but the privacy of a boutique residence,” said Patrick W. Smith, whose team at The Corcoran Group is the exclusive agent for the development. “The developers and HCN Architects have done an amazing job creating new homes that fit seamlessly into the
streetscape.”
Each residence boasts private outdoor areas accessible from multiple rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, smart LG stackable washer/dryers, custom closets, recessed lighting, strategically placed outlets for wall-mounted TVs, and Porcelanosa wide-plank Lutier Grey engineered hardwood floors. The state-of-the-art Daikin climate control system ensures year-round comfort.
Custom-designed kitchens feature quartz waterfall countertops, full-height quartz backsplashes, Tafisa green technology cabinets with Blum soft-close mechanisms, and integrated Bertazzoni appliances, including panelized refrigerators, dishwashers, and a 30-inch stainless steel range, and an over-the-range.
The spa-like bathrooms have radiant-heat flooring, custom chrome fixtures, and a tub-shower combination. Porcelanosa tiles from the Glem White and Vela collections cover the walls and floors, while the Marne collection sink and ash-and-cherry vanity complete the inviting space.
Astoria is an incredibly diverse and welcoming neighborhood just minutes from Manhattan. The Orion is surrounded by all the best it has to offer, including eclectic shops, parks, fitness studios, boutiques, bakeries, cafes, and acclaimed restaurants. Transportation options are also abundant and convenient, with the N and W trains at 30th Avenue, the M and R trains at Steinway Street Station, and several bus lines, including Q101, Q18, M60, and Q70 LaGuardia Link.
The six one-bedroom homes at Orion Astoria start at $695,000. A unique one-bedroom on the first floor has a private 1,000 sq. ft. backyard. The special two-bedroom duplex penthouse with two private terraces is priced at $1.125M.
