The Murano is a 12-story condominium completed in 2009 that contains approximately 76 units composed primarily of one- and two-bedroom floor plans. Its exterior is notable for a curtain-wall façade with continuous bands of oversized, floor-to-ceiling windows that maximize southern and western exposures and frame skyline, river, and bridge views. Residences feature open chef-style kitchens with high-end appliances and Corian or quartz counters, wide-plank oak hardwood floors, in-unit washer/dryers, central air, generous closets including walk-ins, and private outdoor terraces or balconies in many units. Common areas include a staffed 24-hour concierge desk and resident manager, a fitness center, a residents’ lounge, bike and cold storage, a landscaped garden and courtyard, a setback terrace with grills, and an on-site garage with deeded parking available. The lobby and exterior incorporate water features and programmable lighting that change the building’s presentation over time. Located in Hunters Point/Long Island City, the building sits a short walk from the 7 train, NYC Ferry access, Gantry Plaza State Park, restaurants along Vernon Boulevard, and neighborhood groceries, making it convenient for quick Manhattan commutes while offering waterfront leisure options. The Murano is pet-friendly and supports family needs with a planned children’s playroom and flexible unit layouts.
