The building has a six-story base and an 8-story central tower that is topped by an exposed rooftop watertank. The tower is slightly off center to the west.

Despite its imposing bulk, the building contains only 15 condominium units, most of which are corner apartments. All the apartments have access to a common roof garden and the two penthouses have their own large terraces.

With its white metal cladding and red-brick center piers, the building pays nice homage to the cast-iron heritage of Greene Street and the cobblestones of Wooster Street.

This building is directly across Houston Street, a major downtown cross-street, from University Towers, three high-rise buildings designed by I. M. Pei centered around a large Picasso sculpture, one of the city s handsomest modern enclaves. This building is also just down Houston Street from the famous Puck Building on Lafayette Street and the Cable Building on Broadway.

Convenient to NoHo, Greenwich Village, and Little Italy, this site is also well-served by public transportation. There are many restaurants, art galleries and boutiques in the vicinity.

Each apartment has a private basement storage unit. The lobby has a 14-foot-high ceiling and the building has a separate service entrance with elevator access. There are two key-locked passengers elevators.

Apartments have ceilings up to 10 feet eight inches high, white oak hardwood floors, wood-frame windows, color video intercom and security systems, and washers and dryers as well as individually controlled heating and air-conditioning and pre-wiring.

Kitchens have Valcucine dark wood and glass cabinets, Almada stone countertops, Subzero refrigerators, Miele 5-burner stovetop, Thermador double ovens, and Bosch dishwashers. Master bathrooms have Italian Porto stone floors, glass mosaic accent tile on the walls and Waterworks fixtures and accessories.
