Carter's Review

Luna is a Long Island City rental building built in 2016 with 124 units. It is also known as Luna LIC.

It was erected by Meadow Partners, headed by Jeffrey Kaplan, who bought a 1953 office building on the site and added two floors to it before selling it for about $70 million to the World-Wide Group.

The building was designed by Avinash K. Malhotra Architects.

Bottom Line

The building is notable for the waffle-slab ceilings of its lobby and apartments.

The building’s 10-story base has brown façades with inset windows and an entrance marquee and the top floors are white with setbacks at the sides with balconies.

The building has discrete air-conditioners and no sidewalk landscaping.

The building’s lobby has exposed brick and wood plank walls and wood plank rafters and a wooden clock.

Amenities

The building has a concierge, an on-site resident manager, a fitness center, a roof deck, a bicycle room and a gaming lounge.  The building is pet friendly.
