This building will have 8 two-bedroom apartments with 1,460 to 1,582 square feet, 16 three-bedroom apartments with 1,980 to 2,090 square feet, some with terraces, and 2 five-bedroom duplex penthouses with interiors and 4,054 and 4,232 square feet and terraces of about 640 square feet.
The two floors are setback.

Bathrooms will have marble or travertine vanities, tub walls and decks, bathtubs and sinks by Kohler, toilets by Duravit, sink and tub fixtures by Grohe.
