The building, which has 98 apartments, has a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, a resident manager, a rooftop garden, private storage units, consistent fenestration, sidewalk landscaping and protruding air-conditioners.

Kitchens have Sub-Zero refrigerators, Bosch ranges, dishwashers and microwaves and baths have Kohler tubs.

Prices range from $760,000 for a one-bedroom, one-bath unit with 766 square feet on the second floor to $1,870,000 for a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath unit with 1,517 square feet on the 9th floor to $3,300,000 for a two-bedroom, two-bath penthouse apartment with 1,528 square feet plus 2,523 square feet of terrace.
