Rentals have been launched at 509 Third Avenue, aka The Murray, in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan. This gleaming highrise development is located at the northeast corner of 34th Street and Third Avenue, two blocks south of the Midtown Tunnel.
The Murray rises 36 floors and contains 229 apartments, 58 of which have been set aside as affordable units.
The building’s footprint shows 74 feet of frontage along Third Avenue and 150 feet along East 34th Street. Not surprisingly, there will be a significant retail presence on the ground floor.
The project will total 166,917 square feet with 158,685 square feet dedicated for residential use. The remaining 8,253 square feet is set aside for commercial/retail use.
At this time studios start at $3,868 and one-bedrooms start at $4,583. There are no two-bedroom residences currently available. These prices reflect net effective rent which includes one month free on a 12 month lease. Please note that prices and offerings are subject to change.
The Murray features a wide array of amenities. Security is provided by a full-time concierge. The amenities package includes a coworking lounge, golf simulator room, fitness center, media lounge and a party room that overlooks the skyline. The rooftop terrace is spectacular and provides city and river views, a wet bar and grilling stations.
Sunlight, and lots of it, creates an exceptional living experience. The building’s corner location and expansive wall-to-wall windows offer dramatic light and sweeping city views. Additional apartment features include high ceilings, white oak floors, recessed lighting, blackout and solar shades, washer/dryers and multi-zoned heating/cooling systems. Residences are pre-wired for the Internet and unit access is provided by Smart Home Keyless Entry
The kitchens feature Italian two-toned cabinets, Silestone countertops, stainless steel appliances and LED overhead and counter lighting.
There is a preference that 50% of the units go to Community Board 6 residents. A small percentage of units are also set aside for people with mobility issues (5%) and those with vision and/or hearing problems (2%).
Lalezarian Properties and Kahen Properties co-developed the property while Ismael Leyva Architects served as the building architect. The site was previously occupied by three 25-foot wide mixed-use properties.
