Broker & Resident Comments

This "soaring" Downtown Brooklyn tower offers "breathtaking views" and "attentive" staff, particularly the "exceptionally helpful" concierge service. While the "striking" high-rise boasts modern amenities, recent residents note ongoing maintenance challenges that "warrant consideration" before signing. The "dedicated" support staff "consistently shows up" to address concerns, though some building systems remain "works in progress."
