No surprises here.

Anchoring the western terminus of the city's billionaire's boulevard, the 41-floor building is comprised of 700 no fee rental apartments organized around a central courtyard. The tower's ravishing shape, a tetrahedron, begins one-story tall along it's Hudson River facing elevation and slopes upward to its 465-foot midblock tip.

Developed by Monadnock Development, Carmel Place at 335 East 27th Street is a newly finished no-fee rental building in Manhattan's Kips Bay/Gramercy neighborhood. The building's popularity derives from its modular design and compact units crafted by the forward thinking designers at nARCHITECTS. The building is the result of a pilot launched by the Bloomberg administration aimed to test compact and efficient living arrangements within the city’s tight housing market. The 11-story building's 55 apartments were assembled though modular construction where each unit was brought to the site from a factory in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
