Broker & Buyer Comments

This "impeccably maintained" midtown residence offers an "impressive array" of amenities including a "full-service health club," swimming pool and squash court. The "newly renovated" lobby with attentive staff welcomes residents home, while the "prime location" near Grand Central provides "unbeatable access" to transportation. "Countless dining options" and "peaceful parks" surround this "perfectly situated" building at 40th and 2nd, making it a "sought-after address" for young professionals working in midtown.
