A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Lumin would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
The Lumin is an eight-story, 24-residence condominium designed by Issac & Stern Architects with interiors by Alchemy Studio. Its red-brick façade and oversized warehouse-style windows reference Greenpoint's industrial architecture, while setbacks create terraces on the upper floors. A shared garden and roof deck provide outdoor space beyond the private terraces.
The residence mix runs from studios through three-bedroom homes. That breadth places compact apartments and larger upper-level layouts within one relatively small condominium. The original residential specification is fully electric, with concealed climate-control equipment and individual room controls.
The project occupies McGuinness Boulevard between Meserole Avenue and Calyer Street. It has a boulevard-facing elevation and a rear yard, creating distinct exposure conditions within the building. The Nassau Avenue G station lies west of the property near Manhattan Avenue.
Architecture and unit composition
The principal elevation faces east. Red brick surrounds a regular grid of large windows with dark frames. Above the fifth floor, the building steps back, with glass railings defining terraces and gray panels enclosing the recessed upper volumes. Published construction reporting places the building at approximately eighty feet in height.
Studios form the smallest part of the inventory, with recorded areas in the mid-four-hundred-square-foot range. One-bedroom apartments occupy several different footprints, and the larger two- and three-bedroom homes extend above a thousand square feet. A substantially larger ground-floor residence also appears in the initial sales.
The development-wide interior palette includes wide-plank European oak floors, seven-foot solid-wood doors and double-glazed casement windows. Open kitchens use custom cabinetry, quartz counters and integrated appliances. Bathrooms combine porcelain surfaces with wall-hung wood-veneer vanities. These are original specifications across the project, not a description of a single resale apartment.
Alchemy Studio also designed the shared interiors. Oak paneling and ceramic tile appear in the lobby, while the fitness room has tall windows. A landscaped garden sits at ground level, and the roof provides a second shared outdoor setting.
Building operations
The virtual-doorman system and package room organize deliveries through the outer lobby vestibule. The package space can receive deliveries without requiring a staffed reception desk. Bicycle storage and separately available storage cages supplement the space within apartments.
The Attorney General accepted the condominium offering in February 2023 and declared it effective in February 2024. A subsequent 2025 filing recorded a permanent certificate of occupancy and revised floor plans. DOB's new-building application identifies Ramy Issac as the applicant for the eight-story, 24-residence project.
DOF shows dispersed residential ownership, with the largest single owner holding one apartment. No development tax abatement is recorded. The building's common facilities and exterior are supported through the condominium's shared budget, while electricity for the all-electric residential systems is a material part of each home's operating costs.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
