Murano is a luxury condominium in Long Island City with amenities like a fitness center, residents' lounge, and outdoor areas. Located near Manhattan with easy access to restaurants, shops, and other conveniences. Currently, 2 apartments are for sale.
The Murano, completed in 2012 by Hudson Equities and Jim Plotkin, is a distinctive 12-story, 76-unit condominium at 5-19 Borden Avenue in Long Island City. The building's most striking feature is its torqued architectural design, where the structure appears to shift midway up, complemented by a computerized lighting system that changes the building's exterior hue every hour - a feature that inspired its name from the Venetian island famous for colorful glassmaking.
The building's Venice-inspired design extends to its ground level, where a moat-like water feature surrounds the structure, crossed by small bridges for resident access. The façade features a mix of narrow triangular balconies on the lower eight floors and larger rectangular balconies on the upper four floors, creating a dynamic exterior presence.
Residences feature sophisticated finishes including white pine cabinetry, Corian countertops and tiles, and high-end appliances from brands like SMEG and Liebherr. Bathrooms are appointed with Darius Design fixtures, teak cabinetry, pebbled tiling, and Himarchal stone walls, many featuring deep free-standing tubs.
The full-service building offers a comprehensive amenity package including 24-hour doorman service, a fitness center, residents' lounge, bike storage, cold storage, package room, roof deck, and available parking. Located just one subway stop from Manhattan, the Murano provides easy access to Vernon Boulevard's restaurants, Gantry Plaza State Park, and multiple transportation options including the 7 train and NYC Ferry.
