Overview of Aurora at 29-11 Queens Plaza North

The Aurora is a 30-story mixed-use tower located at 29-11 Queens Plaza North in Long Island City, erected in 2016 by G Holdings with design by Mike Arad of Handel Architects. The building features a reflective glass façade with a light-colored concrete frame and includes a 160-room Marriott Courtyard Hotel at its base. The top 15 floors house 132 rental apartments, offering a modern residential experience in a rapidly developing neighborhood.

The apartments at Aurora are characterized by their floor-to-ceiling windows, 9 to 11-foot ceilings, and wide plank oak flooring. Kitchens are equipped with white lacquer cabinetry, white quartz countertops, and high-end appliances including a five-burner Bertazzoni range, Liebherr refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. Bathrooms feature Toto toilets and white quartz and lacquer vanities. Some units on the building's angled west side boast dramatic, long, inset horizontal windows.

Aurora offers a range of amenities, including a 30th-floor fitness center, a double-height residents' lounge, a roof deck, storage, and a bicycle room. The Aurora Sky Lounge, an exclusive full-floor rooftop amenity space, features plush seating, a high-definition television, Wi-Fi access, and a live edge dining table. The Sky Deck provides a beautifully landscaped sun terrace with an outdoor grilling station and misting shower. Additional amenities include a 24-hour attended lobby, bicycle and personal storage, laundry facilities, valet service, a package room, and on-site parking.

The building is conveniently located near multiple subway lines, providing easy access to Midtown Manhattan in less than 10 minutes. Long Island City, once known for its industrial roots, has transformed into a vibrant residential neighborhood with a mix of shops, restaurants, parks, and nightlife. Aurora's location offers residents a dynamic and elevated lifestyle with picturesque views of the Manhattan skyline.
