Renovated Artist Studios in LIC | Natural Light + Private Spaces
BRAND NEW PRIVATE ARTIST STUDIOS IN LONG ISLAND CITY
Be among the first tenants in our newly renovated artist studios and creative workspaces in the heart of Long Island City, Queens!
Studios range from approximately 200–700+ square feet, with pricing from $1,695–$3,800/month. New spaces available NOW and August 2026.
We currently manage 54 private artist studios across three distinct LIC buildings:
Urban Yard Studios
Footbridge Studios
Queensbridge Studios
Our tenants include artists, designers, builders, photographers, creative entrepreneurs, and small businesses looking for functional, inspiring workspace in NYC.
These are private studios — not coworking desks or “WeWork-style” offices. Every tenant has their own dedicated space, alongside thoughtfully maintained shared amenities and lounge areas.
All Studios feature:
Large windows and exceptional natural light
Open skyline, bridge, and city views
High ceilings (11–13 ft)
Freight elevator access
Clean, professional common areas
Quiet working environments
Long Island City has become one of NYC’s fastest-growing creative hubs — centrally located with direct access to Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.

ABOUT US:
Doug and Chris are the leaseholder for the studios. They are Co-Founders of Urban Yard Studios and met in 2004 as fellow renters at the infamous 5 POINTZ Building in LIC. Since the mass eviction of all occupants from 5 POINTZ in 2008 we set out to create a safer and more supportive studio model. Not an office, and not a messy chaotic art studio.
We have our own families and careers to tend to, in addition to our studios. Chris Anigacz has two kids and is a professional restorer of fine furniture. Doug Holt also has two kids and is a commercial still life and fashion photographer.
We manage and run three independent Long Island City Artist Studios:
Queensbridge Studios –– est. 2012
Footbridge Studios –– est. 2017
Urban Yard Studios –– est. 2024
All our studios are flooded with natural light, brand new, industrial and versatile. We are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. We are accountable to our tenants and their endeavors. All our studios are a creative and tranquil haven for independent, creative New Yorkers. We love Long Island City and vigorously participate within the community. We are here to help you grow creatively and professionally through our form of Studio Therapy.
