Broker & Buyer Comments

This centrally located midtown residence offers "spacious apartments" with "large rooms" in the "heart of the city," with proximity to "MSG, theater, and shopping." While some praise the "24-hour lobby coverage" and "professional staff," others note "challenging elevator wait times" and "maintenance concerns." The building provides "doorman service" and "convenient location," though reviews of management and building upkeep are "mixed." Best suited for those prioritizing "central location" and "ample living space" over "building amenities."
