First of all, the amenities are a cut above others the pool, gym, etc. are very well maintained and great to use. The rooftop itself is breathtaking, you absolutely cannot beat those views! Its an incredible community in a great location, staff and leasing department are accommodating and extremely helpful, going the extra mile to help you for any problems you have, though those are few and far between. Cant recommend this building enough!!

My favorite building! Amazing rooftop and the best views of the city!

This building is amazing; literally zero complaints. The generous dimensions of the common area spaces remind me of an old friend of mine's chateau in Normandy, or of a htel particulier in Paris, or even of La Mamounia Hotel in Marrakech, those are really the only 3 comparable buildings that come to mind, except, uhh, y'all have way better wi-fi and modern amenities lol, in a city that I actually want to live in, and y'all have far more easygoing staff and fellow residents; in general, it just feels way cozier and more natural here. The operation y'all run here is truly world-class, like I have nothing to say except "Wow," "Congratulations, and "Thank You." I've honestly never seen such a refreshingly authentic and un-pretentious environment within a highest-quality/'luxury' property such as this one. Hugely impressive. I love being able to "commute" 37 floors down to the work lounge to get my work done for the day (or night) and then go back and forth to my studio as needed before turning in for the night, and my being able to dip into the gym on a whim whenever I need to off-load some stress has been incredibly useful. I can't imagine maintaining a primary residence anywhere else other than 1S1 for the foreseeable future; I spent the last dozen years traveling around the world thru college and grad school programs with some 23 or so different residential addresses, in 4 countries, and at least from where I'm standing, I know of no other building that even comes close to measuring up against what y'all have accomplished here with 1S1, truly. I love that the best building I ever found turned out to be right here in Brooklyn. The operational security here is solid, I respect how y'all don't hold any residential keys for incoming guests of residents, it makes me feel a lot safer knowing that there are procedures in place to maintain safety on the property. Big fan of the low-fi/binaural beats that play on the speakers, too. I love the different chairs in the work lounge areas, am a big fan of the top-grain leather sofa in that movie room area on the fireplace-side of the work/club lounge. The dedication to the highest-quality materials available has not gone unnoticed. The disciplined commitment to a minimalist aesthetic, the maintenance of the botanical features, the way the lighting comes thru the windows in the morning, I can go on and on. This place is an absolute dream to photograph, read, and write in. Abir and Danny's use of real plants, and the design with the Christmas decorations, has been greatly appreciated. Idk who curated y'all's collection of art books in the fireplace- side of the work lounge, but I've really loved spending time studying some of them. This feels like a place where I can really continue to grow as an individual, and Im grateful to be able to call this place home.
