Many apartments also come with a private outdoor space.

Bentley Zhao is a visionary, creating a premier product with highly sought amenities, bespoke interior finishes, and optimal apartment layouts, all in a prime location next to Prospect Park and near express transit options. This combination, offering both luxury and lifestyle, created a premier product that the market absorbed in record-setting speed at record-breaking prices,” said Michael Bethoney, Esq.
