Units will come in studio, one- and two-bedroom floor plans, with private terraces/balconies available in select residences. Amenities will include a fitness center, community lounge, designated dining area, library, coworking spaces, podcast studio, screening room, pet spa, an outdoor fitness space and two patios with grilling stations. Eighty Nine Dekalb will also feature 55,000 square feet of academic and office space for Long Island University. Full completion is slated for early 2026.
