There’s a well-proportioned galley kitchen, full bathroom, through-the-wall air conditioning and beautiful Spanish terra cotta tile throughout. The windowed sleeping alcove easily accommodates a king-size bed, and the entire apartment can be converted into a sizable junior one-bedroom with ease ( required).

Later this month, the building will unveil its most extraordinary amenity: a state-of-the-art, eco-conscious roof deck garden that will rival any other Manhattan property’s outdoor space. Equipped with Wi-Fi, the roof deck will feature vertical green walls and carpeting of sedum plants surrounding multiple common areas, each with built-in seating to create a lush green oasis for residents’ enjoyment. In addition, there will be an event space and private function area. Incredible eco-friendly and self-sustaining features include solar panels that offer shaded space for relaxing residents while also generating electricity for the roof and building, plus a rainwater collection and retention system to reduce storm water runoff and to supplement irrigation for the roof greenery. This cutting-edge roof deck garden will be among the first of its kind in Manhattan and surpass those of most other buildings.
