Reviews

The building’s strongest advantage is a service team that residents describe as unusually personal and responsive, backed by a broad amenity program and excellent transit access. The recurring drawbacks are concentrated around city noise, elevator downtime and a smaller set of lower-floor pest and apartment-condition problems.

What residents praise

The staff creates a real sense of community

Residents repeatedly praise leasing, door, concierge, superintendent and service staff for being warm, communicative and willing to help beyond routine requests.

Amenities are useful and well maintained

The gym, rooftop grills, terraces, laundry and pet spaces receive consistent praise, with residents often describing the building as clean and well run.

Daily errands and transit are exceptionally easy

Several subway lines, Whole Foods and other groceries sit within a few blocks, making the location a practical everyday strength.

What residents complain about

Street noise can carry into apartments

Ambulances, motorcycles, cars and late-night activity can be noticeable, especially where windows provide limited sound isolation.

Elevator outages create long waits

Residents report periodic elevator downtime that can turn a normal trip into a five-to-ten-minute wait.

Some lower-floor homes have pest or condition issues

A smaller group reports mice or rats, warped floors, leaks and slow follow-through on apartment-specific repairs.

Amenities

A 24-hour doorman and concierge building with a renovated ground-floor fitness club, two roof decks plus garden and city terraces, an indoor garage, and a package room with cold storage.
