Reviews

What residents praise

Staff and maintenance are responsive

Residents praise doormen who know names and a maintenance team that often resolves apartment issues within a day.

Large-building operations feel efficient

Residents describe clean common areas, quiet apartments and short elevator waits despite the building's scale.

Waterfront connections broaden the commute

The ferry, resident shuttle, nearby bus and walk to the 7 train provide several ways to travel, while the park and river views shape daily life.

What residents complain about

Leasing communication can be slow

Residents describe inconsistent response times during renewals and when trying to reach particular members of the leasing team.

Noise problems may require persistence

One resident reports repeated neighbor-noise complaints without resolution, while lower-floor feedback also flags nearby construction noise.

The gym can feel busy at peak times

A positive long-term account says the fitness center becomes crowded and supplies are not always replenished quickly.

Location

The building faces Hunter's Point South Park and the East River, with a ferry stop immediately nearby and a resident shuttle toward the 7 train. The waterfront setting is a major draw, but Court Square and northern Long Island City destinations require a longer trip.
