Broker & Buyer Comments

This "diplomatic haven" across from the UN offers "prime Midtown East living" with a "full-service" approach including FT concierge and attentive staff. The "well-maintained" condo boasts a "sunny laundry room" and "coveted roof deck," while the "heavily secured" location ensures peace of mind. Though "September can be tricky" during General Assembly sessions, residents praise the "professional management" and "accommodating" sublease policies. The "United Nations proximity" brings a distinct international flavor, with "diplomatic vehicles" and enhanced security presence adding to the building's unique character.
