Broker & Buyer Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "spectacular" 35-story glass tower near Columbus Circle offers "endless amenities" including a "state-of-the-art" fitness complex with 60-foot pool, basketball and squash courts, plus "impeccable" spa facilities. Residents praise the "12,000-square-foot outdoor space" with its "elevated lawn" and the "luxurious" children's playroom featuring FAO Schwarz toys. The "prime location" near Lincoln Center, Time Warner Center and Central Park makes this "full-service" building a "standout," while the circular driveway and porte cochere provide a "grand entrance." Though "slightly west" of midtown's core, the "upscale" amenities and "spectacular" facilities make it a "compelling" choice for luxury living.
