History
editThe site formerly held a studio used by the artist Jeff Koons.[4] Douglaston acquired the site through a 99-year ground lease for $129.6 million.[5]
In June 2019, Ares Management invested $160 million in equity in the project. At the same time, the development raised $415 million in construction debt from a consortium of banks led by HSBC including Bank of China, Helaba, Banco Santander, and Raymond James Financial.[5] Excavation for the building's foundations began in September 2019.[6]
Design
editPermits indicate that the building will rise roughly 700 feet (210 m).[7] New permits were filed in September 2018, indicating that the building will have 931 units, including 234 affordable apartments.[8] Planned amenities include a fitness center, outdoor terraces, a pool, private cabanas, a pet daycare, and 198 subterranean parking spaces. Additionally, the ground floor will contain 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2) of retail space.[5]
