Designed by DXA Studio with amenity spaces by Paris Forino and developed by New Empire Corp., the 150-foot-tall development will yield 44,571 square feet with 59 units measuring 755 square feet apiece. The property is located between East 24th and 25th Streets.

We are delighted to lead the sales and marketing of this incredible new residential building.”

Residents will have access to several common spaces, including a building roof deck and garden, coworking space, conference and media rooms, and a fully equipped fitness center with steam room and sauna.

“Community spaces and interconnected living is more important today than ever before, and this one-of-a-kind, custom-tailored project fully realizes that philosophy,” said Bentley Zhao, chairman and CEO of New Empire Corp. “We are thrilled to bring this exciting new project to life with such an incredible, world-class team.”
