Pros: Good location. Nice bathrooms and kitchens. Cons: Unresponsive management. Rude doormen. Claims it’s luxury but def needs updated. Hallways dirty. Apartment was dirty when we moved into super windy which makes the apt cream constantly. Advice to landlord: Don’t be so shady with your listings. Show actual photos of the units being rented. They’re all stock photos.

Pros: Clean building Friendly doorman Free continental breakfast M-F before 9am Free shuttle down 42nd I believe it runs until 930am M-F BBQ area, and rooftop deck (closes 10pm daily) One tennis/basket ball court combo Mini Gym area Please note times may be different from when I lived there Cons: 1)There's a whole thing about Airbnbing being done. I've seen people who it was clear did not live there and were tourists. Also, apparently escort services have been run out of it according to my old neighbor who the police came in and checked his floor.That explains some of the women I've seen. I've seen the escorts but originally thought they were just women who were very open about looking for a good time and quite honestly gold digging. 2) The amenities listed are false. A) There is no swimming pool. There is a pool table on the roof deck but no actual swimming pool. Brief story there was a pool about 5 years ago before the sky building was built. Once the sky building was built they boarded up the gym in the basement where the swimming pool was and gave it to the sky building to use in their lifetime fitness. If you ask management where the swimming pool is or a broker they will either not respond or they will tell you 1 year they are building it. That's a lie I've been there 3 years waiting on it.The old pool area is located in the basement accross from the children's play room. There's a permit on the door dated 2013. You can read the whole story if you Google it condo owners sued the building for taking the pool away. (If you go to outdoor dog area you will see glass like windows in the ground, that is the pool which used to belong to the atelier and now is apart of lifetime fitness) B)Gym area- when they took away the pool, they took away the large gym area. To provide a gym they converted a 2nd floor apartment to a small gym. It's ok. C)One of the reviewers mentioned there wasn't a children's area. That is false atleast from when I last lived there in 2019. There are two childrens areas. One is an indoor playroom in the basement that you need special access to. Two is the outdoor playground above the tennis court. D)Business center-They do have a business center you can use for free or rent out their conference room located in the basement. E)Movie theater-Accross the business center in the basement. I've never been inside because you need a key and you only get that if you rent the movie theater otherwise you cannot access it. F)Ice rink- on the roof top deck. It only comes out during the winter. It's not a real icerink. It's a bunch of PLASTIC puzzle piece like tiles. There's rules on using it and a limit of people. G)Rooftop deck.only allowed to take up two guests. H) There is no yoga studio. Unless they are counting the tiny gym as one but that's really pushing it. You get like a 8 by 3 foot area by the gym entrance that one person can use to stretch in the gym. If they are claiming THAT to be the yoga studio then jeez the "yoga studio" in my living room is triple their size. 3) The building is by the hudson river and far from the subway. The closest subway is either times square or the 7 from Hudson yards. I've taken both and timed them to see what's faster and they are both the same. You can however, take the bus to the subway if you don't want to walk. Theres a bus stop at the end of the street. 4) being so close to the water is so nice during the summer. However, come fall and winter the wind is super strong and cold. Advice to landlord: 1) Update your amenities to reflect the fact you no longer have a swimming pool and yoga studio. Stop with the false promises of 1 year. I've been there 3 years and nothing. 2) stop with the airbnbs unless you're going to upgrade your security, and amenities to cover the additional people.

Pros: Originally was cheap vs other buildings Cons: Non responsive management team. Several things in apt held together with tape and wires. 24 hour concierge is non existent. Building manager kicks tenants off roof at 11 pm while talking to them like inmates. Extremely disappointed in rinky-dink amenities, feel we were very misled by River 2 River Realty Advice to landlord: Sell the building

Pros: Nice roof, morning shuttle service is convenient Cons: They do airbnb/short term rentals even though they claim they don’t; they don’t have all the amenities they list -ie no indoor/outdoor pool, indoor children’s playroom, ice skating rink, movie theater/yoga studio. Advice to landlord: Update your amenities and don’t put up fake listings on StreetEasy. Don’t allow short term rentals just to make money as it is isn’t safe to the people that live here full time.
