Murano Condo development rendering, Borden Ave @ 5th St, LIC

Spring brings a whole new color palette to winter’s dreary canvas, and our little Long Island City is getting a generous blast of Technicolor at the waterfront. A condo development formerly known as ‘The Prism’, and now officially dubbed ‘The Murano’, is clearly trying to distinguish themselves from the herd by featuring a ‘lightclock’, which will emit colored light out of a break in the middle of the building. The fun doesn’t stop there, as the light will change color on the hour, every hour. Yeah.

Marketed by The Developers Group, this 81 unit condo building with a curtain wall, is now online.

There’s really not much else to report with this. As a buyer’s beware »
