Overview of Rhapsody on Fifth at 2056 Fifth Avenue

Designed by BKSK Architects, the building features a striking red-brick façade with a rusticated limestone base and decorative stone trim. The renovation included the addition of two stories, a large interior courtyard, and a modern entrance leading to a 17-foot-high lobby. Previously, the building served as the Finnish Community Center and the Gospel Temple Church, and it now includes 1,800 square feet of retail space on the ground floor.

Apartments in Rhapsody on Fifth range from approximately 520 to 2,000 square feet, with one-bedroom units starting around $620,000. Notable features include high ceilings, oversized windows, and modern amenities such as in-unit washers and dryers, floating glass appliances by Jenn-Air, and bamboo flooring. The building offers a range of amenities including a doorman for 16 hours a day, a fitness center, individual storage units, and a bicycle room, enhancing the living experience for residents.

The location is advantageous, situated near Marcus Garvey Memorial Park and upcoming developments like a new Marriott Hotel and East River Plaza.
