Serhant Broker Kayla Lee Highlights Long Island City’s Residential Development and Market

Kayla Lee, a prominent residential broker at Serhant, focuses her expertise on Long Island City's dynamic real estate market, where she also resides. With over a decade in the industry, Lee has achieved more than $1 billion in sales across over 850 units, specializing in new development condo buildings.

One notable project she has worked on is The Paragon, a former paint factory from 1931 that has been transformed into a 23-story luxury condominium. This development features 182 units, with prices ranging from $685,000 to $3.5 million. Lee's largest career deal involved securing an exclusive agreement for a 117-unit condo project in Long Island City, valued at a $135 million sellout.

Lee emphasizes the neighborhood's unique appeal, describing it as having a "small town feel" despite its close proximity to Manhattan. Her professional goal is to establish a personal brand synonymous with trust and excellence in New York's luxury real estate sector. For developers and investors, Lee's experience underscores the continued viability and demand for high-end residential conversions and new construction in Long Island City.
