Broker & Resident Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "hotel-like" luxury high-rise offers "spectacular city views" from its "upper terrace" and apartments with "home-style appliances" and "ample storage." The "impeccably maintained" building boasts a "full complement of amenities" including spa and outdoor spaces, while the "professional" doormen provide "beyond expectations" service. Its location is a "commuter's dream," sitting "directly across" from multiple subway lines and "steps from Penn Station." While some note recent management changes have been "rocky," the building's "prime location" and "luxury appointments" continue to draw residents seeking "full-service" Manhattan living.
