Apartment #31D has just been listed at The Forge, a 38-story rental tower at 44-28 Purves St. in Long Island City. The two bedroom, two bath comes with access to amenities as well as several concessions that might make the location near the Sunnyside rail yard more livable.

The unit is listed for $4,084, the net effective rent for a 27-month lease, which includes three months free and no broker’s fee (meaning the actual rent is closer to $4,600). The 2017 building features an energy-efficient design that reduces electricity expenses for each apartment, according to the building's website.
