The Murray

Here’s an honest review for those considering. (Edit: Dropping a star since the review was reported) I lived in the Murray as the first tenant in my unit from 2024-2025. The 1 bedrooms were around 4,500. Pros: - Amazing people supporting the building (doormen, super, custodial team) - Building is clean and a nice space - Quiet and mostly respectful tenants. Cons: - Building seems to have been built overnight and is made out of sticks. This was fine for living there in 2024, but you’ll likely be wildly overpaying for the unit quality after 2030. For ex: The units have classic pandemic build quality and were slapped together - window gaps, oversprayed paint, doors or drawers that do not fully close. The dryer also doesn’t have an exit vent, so it needs to run for at least an hour. Another example is that two brand new HVAC water main connectors broke, flooding various floors, taking the elevators offline, and leaving the building with no AC for a few days in the summer. Not the super’s fault at all, but the HVAC company apparently rushed the install/initial repairs. - Leasing team was difficult in both viewing/applying. During the move out, they show your unit FRI/SAT/SUN from 3-5:30 for the last 2 months. - Building management is cold and transactional. Fysa they were offering cash discounts on shared space rentals if tenants left 5 star Google reviews

Clean building, good management, very friendly doorman and staff. The move in process was smooth and management were very responsive to emails and helpful to questions. Great views from the rooftop too, nice place to see all of Brooklyn and the Empire State.

I have been living at the Murray since August 2024. The building offers top-tier amenities and very well-designed apartments - the central air conditioning was a huge plus, especially during the summer months. The location is unbeatable as well. What truly sets The Murray apart, though, is the incredible management and staff. The team is helpful, kind, and proactive - always ready to go the extra mile. Special shoutout to Genti and his teammate Nehad, who was a great super and always quick to respond to maintenance needs, Nery, who made coordination smooth and seamless, and Yukon, Matthew, and Jesse, the friendliest and most welcoming doormen I've ever met. Place feels like home in the best ways.

My wife and I are coming up on 1 year at The Murray and we absolutely love this place! I see some comments here about the leasing process being subpar, but our experience was quite different. First class service from start to finish. We love our apartment (insane view of the Empire State building), we love the gym, we love the roof, but perhaps what we love most are the doormen/building staff. Each and every single one of them are genuinely nice humans, always going out of their way to help in any way they can - just really friendly, nice people! I would recommend this building to anyone - A++!

I love The Murray! The physical location can't be beat. I absolutely love the doormen and the Super - always going above and beyond and always super friendly. I also want to call out the woman that helped us through the leasing process, Kelly O - she was excellent to work with, welcoming, and got us exactly what we needed. For someone that has lived in Murray Hill for 20+ years, I can say that this has been one of the better living experiences I've ever had!

Been living here for almost a year. The concierge are amazing People the building is very clean can’t complain. The amenities are amazing as well

After so many bad experiences with landlords in New York City, was a breath of fresh air to interact with the management of the Murray. Application process was super smooth - got it figured out in two days. Apartment is new, big, and beautiful. Happy so far

Great building, good service, and easy going leasing team. My move in was smooth and efficient, with the building staff helping me every step of the way. Very pleasant experience overall.
