American Lions JV Opens The Italic Rentals in Long Island City

American Lions, a joint venture between Fetner Properties and Lions Group, has launched leasing at The Italic, a 50-story residential tower located at 26-32 Jackson Ave. in Long Island City. The Italic is the sister building of The Bold, located across the street.

“This evolving neighborhood has shown tremendous growth, and we’re excited to contribute to that by adding more high-quality housing,” said Hal Fetner, president and CEO of Fetner Properties.

The Italic’s 363 rental apartments range from studios to three-bedrooms. Of these, 109 units are designated as affordable. The building also includes 20,000 square feet of commercial space and offers direct access to Court Square subway station.

Amenities at the property include a communal lounge, a fitness center, two bay golf simulators, a basketball court, coworking spaces and a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline. A standalone feature is the building’s full demonstration cooking kitchen.
