Architecture
The building is notable for its brick exterior with dark grey and gold panels between the windows, a symbol of the power and wealth of Manhattan's Financial District. The design takes advantage of view corridors along the streets of its corner site through corresponding shears and staggers in the building massing. The envelope modulates the rhythm, relief and differing transparencies and reflectivity of its glass skin to interact with the form, light and atmosphere of the city. These subtle disruptions in the facade mean the building captures and diffuses light at all times of day.
The "modern, eco-friendly, and amenity-rich" condominium was ranked one of the "Top 50 Luxury Condos & Co-ops in Manhattan" by Manhattan Scout. The property's top quality amenities include a fitness center, squash court, yoga studio, boxing gym, indoor saltwater swimming pool, outdoor saltwater jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, children's playground, covered dog-run, landscaped roof deck, event space, movie theater, and an outdoor basketball court. The ground floor of the building includes retail space and a subterranean parking lot.
