Situated on a tree-lined block between First and Second Avenues, commutes to Midtown are a breeze (relatively), as the still-immaculate Second Avenue Subway can be caught nearby at 86th Street. The local 6 train can also be taken from Lexington Avenue and 77th Street. Several avenues to the west are the Met Breuer, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park.
The ground-up development was conceived by CGI Strategies, led by Gidi Cohen and Adrian Goldstein. They purchased the lot in 2016 for $9.25 million according to city records.
