Carter’s Review

"This slender 32-story spire has only 48 apartments, affording most residents a level of privacy quite rare in a high-rise.

The building's façade is quite elegant with curved balconies on the tower that sits on a low-rise base that is set back at the 8th floor to match the setback of the YMCA building to its east."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "well-managed" full-service residence offers "prime midtown convenience" with its strategic location near Grand Central and the UN. Building delivers the "basics done right" with basement laundry and storage facilities, while the adjacent Vanderbilt YMCA adds recreational appeal. Professional management maintains "co-op-style standards" for a "polished residential experience."
