Broker & Resident Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "glamorous" East River glass tower offers "breathtaking views" and "spacious layouts with high ceilings" that "wow" visitors. While the "friendly" doormen and staff earn consistent praise, recent management changes have led to "declining services." The "impressive" amenities include a pool and gym, though "persistent elevator issues" and "temperature control challenges" draw criticism from residents. The "dramatic" entrance with reflecting pool creates an "elegant first impression," but current tenants suggest "proceeding with caution" due to maintenance concerns. "Mixed" reviews on value relative to "premium" pricing.
