Located at 98-81 Queens Boulevard in the Rego Park neighborhood, Trylon Tower opened in March 2025 and stands 16 stories. The apartment complex features one- to three-bedroom units spread over 107,000 square feet. Additionally, the building holds 45,000 square feet of commercial space across eight units. 

The building was financed under the state’s now-expired 421a affordable housing tax abatement and holds 60 affordable units. 

Trylon Tower was built on the site of the former Trylon Theatre, a classic Art-Deco movie house that opened during the 1939 World’s Fair and was demolished in 2022. The current apartment complex pays tribute to the defunct theater in its ornamental and vertical terra cotta design. 

RJ Capital Holdings and Benefit Street Partners did not respond to requests for comment.
