Broker & Buyer Comments

This "eco-conscious" Upper East Side luxury tower "sets new standards" for green living with its LEED certification and "thoughtful sustainable design." The "full-service" building offers "impressive" amenities including a health club with pool, children's facilities, and "practical perks" like bike and wine storage. "Perfectly positioned" just blocks from Central Park and Madison Avenue shopping, with "convenient" subway access. The "environmentally advanced" features including rainwater irrigation and sustainable materials make it a "standout" for the environmentally conscious crowd, while the 24-hour doorman service adds a "luxury touch."
