Carter’s Review

"Air-rights transfers - the exchange of unused development rights from one property to another - are not unusual in New York City, but they are seldom used to build directly above the other property. Usually, the properties are adjacent lots that may be legally merged for new construction on the combined lot.

This 20-story condominium apartment building, however, has used the air-rights from the low-rise apartment building with fire escapes, immediately to its east, to cantilever part of its bulk over that building, a rare phenomenon in the city."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "impeccably maintained" 2005 Costas Kondylis-designed residence offers "luxe living" with "superior amenities" including a "comprehensive" fitness center, screening room and children's playroom. The "uncommonly professional" staff and "quality construction" keep residents so satisfied they "often upgrade within the building." Northern exposures provide "protected views" of St. Monica's Church, while the "prime UES location" near Agata and Valentina makes this "pet-friendly" building particularly appealing. The "beautiful finishes" and "efficient management" make this 20-story tower a "standout choice" for discerning buyers.
