Morris Adjmi Architects looked to Greenpoint’s industrial past for inspiration for the building’s design. The materials and shape of the building reflect the neighborhood’s history of manufacturing and shipbuilding. The two towers are reminiscent of smokestacks on a ship, while the large gridded windows (manufactured in Germany and assembled in Italy) give the building an industrial feel.
At the base of the towers, a dark, rough brick facade reflects that of surrounding brick warehouses. While paying homage to the neighborhood’s historic architecture, The Huron also creates its own distinctive look by incorporating features like bronze-toned metal window grids and setbacks on the towers.
One of the most attractive features of The Huron is its location on the East River waterfront. Stunning views can be seen from more apartments thanks to the two-tower design. This shape also creates more corner residences. Those views will never be obstructed. Access to a landscaped public walkway connects residents to 20 acres of the East River waterfront.
Amenity spaces at The Huron cover 30,000 square feet. This includes an elevated, 8,000+ square foot outdoor park and playground centered around a treehouse which can only be accessed from within the building. Other amenities include a 50-foot-long saltwater pool that faces the Manhattan shoreline, a beautiful co-working area, The Nook, a casual hangout outfitted with table games, state-of-the-art TV, and comfy seating, and two communal rooftops with space for lounging, picnics, barbecuing, and outdoor movies. Sixty-seven residences have their own private outdoor space, which encompasses a total of 23,000 square feet.
Residences boast ceiling heights of 9’5” and up along with floor-to-ceiling windows filled with stunning views. Finishes include wide-plank European-engineered oak hardwood floors, Italian Dolit marble countertops, and imported washed walnut wood cabinetry.
