Aura
Breaking from the monotony of the large, glass boxes that dominate the Long Island City skyline, 23-10 42nd Road is an elegant and statuesque tower that stands apart from the crowd and helps to redefine one of New York’s hottest neighborhoods. This boutique residential building provides an intimate scale with 240 thoughtfully designed, luxury rental units spread over 35 stories. The classic yet contemporary facade utilizes a unique curtain wall system of porcelain panels and metal extrusions to create visual impact in the exterior.
The tower portion of the building rises above the surrounding infrastructure, providing expansive and unobstructed western facing views of the East River and Manhattan skyline running from the Queensboro Bridge in the north to the Brooklyn Bridge in the south.
Residents will benefit from more than 15,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities including a state-of-the-art, triple height fitness center with views of Manhattan and an adjacent outdoor terrace as well as resident lounges, co-working spaces, a roof level sky lounge with adjacent terrace, and a ground-floor landscaped courtyard.
