The Future is one of the few architecturally ambitious condominiums in Murray Hill, and its design pedigree explains why. Completed in 1993 for developer Donald Zucker, the 35-story tower carries the hands of Costas Kondylis — among the most prolific apartment-tower architects of his generation — and Paul Rudolph, one of the towering figures of late American modernism. The result is a building that stands out sharply from the brick-box stock around it: a silvery aluminum façade with balconies that cantilever out at a dramatic 45-degree angle, a fenestration treatment serious enough to earn the building a place in the architectural reference New York 2000.
Its premise is full-service condominium living with genuine architectural character at a Murray Hill price point. As a condominium — with the financing flexibility, ownership latitude, and resale liquidity that ownership structure provides — it offers a deep amenity program and the convenience of a neighborhood built for everyday living, all behind a façade that reads as more design-forward than anything nearby.
For a buyer, the appeal is specific: a distinctive, full-service condominium with a roof deck and a garage, on a corner of Murray Hill with a Trader Joe's at the base and the 6 train two blocks away — practical convenience wrapped in real architecture.
Architecture and unit composition
Kondylis and Rudolph gave the Future a late-modern exterior unlike its neighbors: a silvery aluminum skin and sharply angled balconies that project at 45 degrees from the building face, raised above a landscaped plaza. The 35-story height and the sophisticated fenestration deliver light and outlook across the building's exposures, with the upper floors capturing long views over Murray Hill and toward the surrounding skyline.
The 165 residences span studios through three-bedroom layouts, with a concentration of one- and two-bedroom homes and larger and penthouse-tier residences higher in the tower. The cantilevered balconies are a defining feature of many homes, and the efficient floor plans suit both end-users and the building's investor and pied-à-terre constituency. The higher-floor and view-line homes carry the building's premium.
Building operations
The Future runs as a full-service condominium with a deep amenity program. A 24-hour doorman and concierge staff the lobby, with a fitness center with sauna and steam, a children's playroom, a furnished roof deck with 360-degree views, a parking garage with direct building access, bike storage, and private storage among the facilities. As a condominium, purchases clear through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board admissions process, and financing, pied-à-terre, trust, and investment ownership are accommodated. The location is built for convenience: a Trader Joe's on the ground level, the 6 train two blocks away, and the dining and shopping of Murray Hill, Gramercy, and NoMad all close at hand.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The facade passed its last inspection with no required repairs — nothing to budget for here, and no facade assessment on the horizon for roughly five years.

What to know if you’re buying
The Future offers full-service condominium living with real architecture and a deep amenity program at a Murray Hill price point. Financing is flexible with no co-op cap, there is no board admissions process — purchases clear a right-of-first-refusal — and pied-à-terre, LLC, trust, and investment ownership are accommodated, with freer resale and subletting than co-op product.
Buyers should focus on floor, exposure, and balcony — the cantilevered terraces and the upper floors carry the views and the premium — and on renovation condition, which varies across a building of this size and vintage. The on-site garage, the roof deck, and the Trader Joe's at the base make the building unusually practical for daily life. For a buyer who wants design character and full service at an accessible price with condominium flexibility, the Future is a strong option.
What to know if you’re selling
Architecture, amenities, and condominium flexibility are the marketing core. A Future resale leads with the Kondylis–Rudolph design, the cantilevered balconies, the deep amenity program, and the practical convenience of the Murray Hill location. Benchmark to Murray Hill and Kips Bay's full-service condominium inventory, and foreground balcony, floor, and outlook where the home has them.
Closing mechanics are condominium-standard — a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board, with predictable timelines that appeal to the flexibility-minded and investor buyers this building attracts. With 165 units, the building offers a deep and active resale market; distinctive balconied and higher-floor homes stand out within it.
