It lives, it lives. Mystery Scarano building manifests as Vere26 condos.
Corner of Purves & Jackson, mystery Scarano building dubbed Vere26, LIC
Around the time we first launched, liQcity covered the Scarano designed building at the corner of Purves St and Jackson Ave as a mystery development. Today, the name of the condo building has been revealed as Vere, or Vere26 Condos as indicated by the website address on the new signage. Currently, nothing on the website except for a holding page.

The sales center for the 43-unit condo building is also in construction, across Jackson Ave right next to the current location of Sage.

The intersection of Jackson Ave and the Pulaski Bridge gets a lot of attention for its development boom, but Purves St is quietly exploding as well. There were numerous plans in the works for various sites on that block, including one wrapping around to face the very nearby Arris Lofts. Combine that with the commercial development across Jackson Ave near the Cititower, and it’s probably LIC’s most concentrated development zone.

And you think there’s not enough retail on Vernon? Ha.
Nice one liQcity! I’ve been waiting on that for a while. Good scoop!
wonder what the price points will be?? for some reason I’m not too excited about this condo. I’ve been shopping and the L haus looks more homey. And I’m confused as to why this building won an architecture award. it looks so generic.
Did they start the hotel down there yet?
Beautiful design, great building!!
this place is WAyyyyy over prices ! there main. is $1 per sq ft. The asking price for a 1 bedroom with a tiny 65 sq ft home office is 530k on the 2nd floor and 10k per floor which is only 780 sq feet basically around $680 per sq feet. I can buy a large 1 bedroom at powerhouse which is on the water literally with a large home office, total sq feet of 950 for 575k, why would someone pay this much on jackson ave by the hookers and drug dealers ? its insane!
I saw the sales office on Friday. it is by far the nicest i have seen in Long Island city. I loved the finishes. I was surprised to discovered that Andres Escobar is the interior designer for this project. I like the curtain walls windows system they have, and the AC units are not on the windows. I am going back with my fiance on Tuesday. the two bedroom is amassing. and the ceilings are very high, 13′, it is a wowww modern loft.

not sure what the name of the building means, but they have a nice sales office and exterior facade looks great
Any studios being sold here or all 1 beds and higher?
Can someone explain Sage to me? Is it a bakery? When is it open? It’s on Jackson Avenue, correct?
