More than 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities are anchored by New York City’s largest private backyard – a 60,000-square-foot landscaped oasis featuring a resort-style pool, outdoor lawn with a projector for movies and events, pickleball courts, a running track, and more. Inside, a thoughtfully curated amenities program supports both recreation and everyday living, highlighted by a fitness and wellness center, indoor pool, and a newly unveiled pro-style indoor basketball court developed in collaboration with Chris Brickley. Coworking lounges and entertainment spaces are woven throughout the building, culminating in a 70th-floor Sky Lounge with sweeping city views.
