The spa-inspired primary bath is finished in Silver Striato travertine and includes a luxurious steam shower, custom oak vanity, and bronze detailing, creating a private retreat within the home.

Residents enjoy over four floors of thoughtfully curated amenities, including a 60-foot landscaped indoor pool, spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga studio, library, conference room, billiards lounge, and full-service staff.

Completing the lifestyle is Michelin-starred Le Jardinier, located within the building and offering one of Manhattan’s premier dining experiences just an elevator ride away.
