The building's apartments are characterized by large windows that flood units with natural light, stainless steel kitchens with full size dishwashers, and generous storage space. Upper floor units, particularly on the top floor, offer expansive city views spanning from One World Trade to the Empire State Building, with west facing apartments providing front row seats to daily sunsets. Many units feature hardwood floors, high ceilings, and spacious bedrooms with ample closet space.
