A 186-unit co-op building in a converted silk mill overlooking the East River
Set on the edge of Astoria Park, the full-block development known today as Pistilli Riverview East had multiple lives before becoming a full-service co-op building in 2008. It all started in 1912 when the textile factory Mallison Silk Mills was built overlooking the East River in a primarily industrial section of Queens. The three-story structure blended monumental Beaux Art architecture with Art Deco influences to dazzling effect, with enormous factory windows and sharp-angled motifs repeating across the facade. Manufacturing firm Eagle Electric acquired the edifice in the 1920s, using it as a factory to produce light bulb fuses. The property again changed hands in the early 2000s, with Pistilli Realty Group taking ownership to turn it into residences. According to The New York Times, Pistilli tapped the Augusta Group of Glendale to oversee the transformation, which included constructing an additional five-story wing to fill out the block-long parcel, creating a total of 186 units. "People are drawn to the building because it’s very unique,” says Ivan Mijalkovic, a Corcoran broker who has done over 200 deals at Pistilli Riverview East, including rentals and sales. “The main thing people love is that the units are super large and spacious. Convenience to Astoria Park is also a big selling point — the units go very quickly here.”
Units range from $470,000 to $1.2 million
Residences at Pistilli Riverview East range from one- to three-bedroom layouts, many of which have private outdoor space overlooking Astoria Park, the East River and Hell Gate Bridge. “Pretty much every unit is different,” says Mijalkovic. The property comprises two wings that share an exuberant, postmodern lobby with swirling iron balustrades, orange and yellow flooring and plush furniture. The newer wing was constructed during the 2008 conversion, while the older one occupies the original structure and features two floors with soaring 16-foot ceilings and enormous factory windows. “There’s a blend of original and newer finishes,” adds Mijalkovic. "Many of them have been renovated with new countertops, cabinets, hardwood floors and stainless-steel appliances — but it's not unified throughout." Prices for the smallest one-bedrooms, encompassing around 675 square feet, start at $470,000, with larger units reaching $620,000. Two-bedrooms range from $900,000 to $1.2 million. The last time a three-bedroom was publicly on the market was in 2015, listed at $1.275 million. Owners must reside in the unit for one year before subletting, subject to board approval and fees. The building is pet friendly, allowing dogs up to 25 pounds, cats and birds pending approval. Mijalkovic adds that Local Law 11 work, exterior improvements mandated by the city, will take place in 2025.
The full-service building includes two laundry rooms on every floor and a renovated fitness center
The complex has numerous amenities, including a full-time door attendant, two elevators and a live-in super. A virtual system called BuildingLink allows residents to manage package deliveries and receive announcements securely. Each floor is equipped with two laundry facilities. Residents also have access to the on-site fitness center, which was renovated a few years ago and includes dual spaces: treadmills, ellipticals and stationary bikes on the fifth floor and weight-lifting equipment a level above. Both rooms are windowed and abound with natural light. The building also contains two parking garages for an additional fee. A bike room and storage lockers round out the amenities.
Astoria Park is right outside the front door
Pistilli Riverview East overlooks Astoria Park, a sprawling waterfront greenspace known for having the city's oldest and largest pool, which remains open to the public in the warmer months. Additional amenities include tennis courts, a running track and a bandstand, where a summer concert series is held. The property has several commercial tenants, including two restaurants on the ground floor: Meet the Meat, an upscale steakhouse, and Palermo, which focuses on Mediterranean classics. "Residents love that there's a great cafe on the corner of the building, Kinship Coffee," shares Mijalkovic. A Thai massage parlor is another ground-floor tenant. Grocery stores are a little further away and can be found toward 31st Street, the neighborhood's busiest commercial corridor. Astoria Marketplace, GreenHouse Farmers Market and Natural Frontier Market are less than a mile from the Pistilli Riverview East.
The N and W trains can be reached in half a mile
The location offers convenient access to transit options, including the N and W trains, which terminate at Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard, a little over half a mile from the building. Both lines can reach Manhattan in as little as 20 minutes and travel throughout the borough, with the N ultimately reaching Coney Island in Brooklyn. For bus service, the Q100 and Q69 stop in front of the property on diverging routes to Long Island City. Residents can find a Citi Bike dock right outside the building. For those who need to reach the airport, LaGuardia is less than 15 minutes away by car, depending on traffic.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
