Broker & Buyer Comments

This "sophisticated" 35-story Midtown East tower offers an "elegant" lobby with "attentive" staff, complemented by "convenient" amenities including a roof deck, garage, and conference room. "Perfectly positioned" near Grand Central Terminal and the "famous" Waldorf Astoria intersection, the 1986 building provides "quick access" to everything Manhattan has to offer. Home to the "popular" Avra restaurant, this "understated" residence delivers "prime" accessibility to transit, dining, and shopping, making it an "ideal" Midtown base.
