History

The 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

Permits 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]
