Building: The Octagon

The Octagon – New York’s landmark historic residence offering eco-friendly living in the dramatic setting of an urban waterfront park. Residents enjoy country club treatment without the country club dues—six open-air tennis courts, an outdoor swimming pool, and a 2,200-square-foot fitness center.
The Octagon lifestyle revolves around comfort, convenience, and state-of-the-art amenities. The only Roosevelt Island residence with its own ecological park, The Octagon provides plenty of waterfront space unobstructed by roads and full of fresh air. Family-friendly facilities include a playroom, waterfront playground, and daycare center. And for those with work to do, a business center provides conference and media rooms. All residents have hotel-level services at their fingertips—24-hour concierge, doorman, valet, dry cleaning, laundry, and maid service. Pets welcome.
