Tavros and Charney land Chelsea Piers Fitness for LIC tower

The expanding Chelsea Piers Fitness was looking for a home in the most booming section of Queens — Long Island City — and found one in a 55-story project by Tavros, Charney Companies and Fa Park’s Incoco Capital.

David Tewksbury’s Chelsea Piers signed a lease for 72,000 square feet across six stories at the soon-to-rise apartment tower in the Court Square section. The New York Post first reported the deal.

Tavros, Charney and Incoco plan for construction of the 600-unit building to begin shortly at 24-11 Jackson Avenue, the northeast corner of Jackson Avenue and 23rd Street, and wrap up in 2026.

JLL represented the fitness club in the deal, with the firm’s retail managing director, Erin Grace, describing Long Island City as “one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in New York.”

“With its growing population and development pipeline, Long Island City is the ideal location for our next fitness club,” Tewksbury said in a statement.

The gym will be Chelsea Piers Fitness’ seventh in the tri-state area.

The company opened its first stand-alone fitness club in Downtown Brooklyn in 2018. It also plans to open a 56,000-square-foot, four-level club at SL Green’s new One Madison skyscraper in the Flatiron District next year.
