In addition, a select number of two and three bedroom apartments will have fireplaces. Each apartment will have individual heating and cooling with through-wall incremental units. The kitchens in each apartment will have ceramic tile floors, granite composite countertops, thermofoil finish cabinets and high-end GE appliances. The bathrooms will also contain ceramic tile floors to match the ceramic tile tub surrounds. All living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms will have honey oak parquet flooring.

The foundation work consisted of rock removal, piles, and providing an MTA easement at the northeast corner of the site for the future 2nd Avenue subway. The easement required the drilling of 32 caissons to allow the future installation of escalators for a subway station. The building is constructed of reinforced concrete and masonry brick façade with concrete masonry block backup walls. The superstructure work required approvals from NYCDOT due to the mid-town tunnel exit across the street before two street cranes could be utilized for the concrete work. A traffic and pedestrian study was performed and resulted in constructing a lane shift on East 34th street to maintain three lanes of eastbound traffic and closing one lane for the cranes and staging area.
