Listings have gone live at Luma, a new construction condominium located at 10-39 49th Avenue in Long Island City. The first availabilities start at $948K for one-bedrooms, $1.388 million for two-bedrooms, and over $2.72 million for a three-bedroom penthouse with two private balconies and a roof terrace.
An entity dubbed 1037 Development LLC is at the helm of the project, and Queens-based architect Angelo Ng & Anthony Ng, Architects Studio, PC is listed in permits as the designer. The low-rise height and metal accents nod to Long Island City's industrial heritage, but the glassy facade gives it a decidedly modern look.
