The red-brick building has limestone trim and corner bay windows and has a full-time concierge, a gym, a roof terrace, balconies, a recreation room, bicycle rooms, and individual storage rooms.

The kitchens will have custom Shaker-style cabinetry and the baths will have Duravit toilets by Philippe Starck, Kohler extra-deep bathtubs, Mona pedestral sinks, D Oriente Palmira tiling. Apartment ceilings range from 9 to 11 feet high.
