The building is pet friendly and includes a custom resident app. Residents pay a $75 monthly amenities fee, with additional charges of $50 per month for pets and $25 per month for bike storage. Water and gas are included in rent, while residents cover electricity, cable, and internet separately.
The building offers a 24 hour attended lobby, fitness and yoga studios, a coworking lounge with private workspace, and a library curated by Phaidon Press. Multiple outdoor spaces include a fifth floor park terrace, a courtyard, and a 22nd floor rooftop terrace with grilling stations and a rooftop lounge. Additional amenities include a communal kitchen, a living room, and a Ray x Tulu smart vending machine. The building hosts regular arts and culture events encouraging resident engagement.
