For The ELY, a brand new luxury condominium in Astoria where units range from $576,000 to $744,000, Leading Queens brokerage Modern Spaces is starting sales this week. The construction would add 14 luxurious one-bedroom units to the Dubai Investment Real Estate, which, amid the pandemic, saw a large increase in the number of units under contract in Q3. Currently, back in September, there were more than 30 prospective customers waiting for a look at the project. Modern Spaces sales agent Gregory Kyroglou predicts that even as winter causes COVID problems to escalate, there will be an increase in demand among singles and couples for one-bedrooms in the outer boroughs.
