Murano was built in 2011. The building consists of 12 floors and 76 condominium units. Building amenities include a large fitness center, a residents' lounge, a garden area on the ground floor and a residents' setback terrace with gas grills. The concierge is on duty 24/7 and there is a full-time resident manager. Murano is pet friendly.

According to the architecture critic, Carter Horsley, Murano is named after the island near Venice famed for its colorful glassmaking. The building has a computerized lighting system for its striking curtain wall exterior and lobby that changes its hue every hour. Murano's entry design also pays homage to Venice's romance by surrounding itself with water over which small bridges are provided for residents and guests. Between the "moat" and the sidewalk are sunken landscaped areas.

Murano is located less than one block from all the shops and great restaurants on Vernon Boulevard and two blocks from Gantry Plaza State Park. Trader Joe's, Target and the future home of Chelsea Piers are conveniently located on Jackson Avenue.

Whether you seek a 10-minute door-to-door commute to Grand Central on the 7 train, a relaxing commute aboard the NYC Ferry, a 5-minute stroll to the Michelin star Casa Enrique or dining out at home on your private balcony, residence 2G at Murano is the perfect place to call home.
