      Answer: When their lips are moving.
      Honestly who would want to swim and try to relax there when the train line goes right past the pool window?
      Even worse with the 4,000^2ft patio, at least the pool has windows to stop the noise but you have a snowflake's chance in hell at stopping the train sound on an exposed patio

      majority of residents in this building thus far are chinese immigrants (mainly students) and a *LOT* of them come from money. I was talking to a few NYC natives (i'm also a native) and this hispanic ones said they felt unwanted due to what they deemed "judgmental stares" and the baseless complaints they got while living there. Didn't happen too often (because everyone works) but the times it did they felt uncomfortable every time.

    As a construction estimator, I can assure you that these apartments are definitely not as luxurious as they make it.
    Windows aren’t full height, melamine insides to joinery, non-integrated Bosch cooktops/oven (rather than Gaggenau, Wolf, or any other remotely luxury brand), thin reconstituted stone bench tops, cheap pull-out range hood, low ceilings, engineered timber floorboards, cheap in-wall mechanical vents (they didn't even bother to hide them in the bulkheads), the toilet suite has an attached cistern rather than in-wall, doors are stock standard with painted folded metal door frames... too many to list.
    Value Management options were taken up by the developer wherever possible to cut costs.

In those luxury condo complexes you'll NEVER have to do that. The management got u covered. Not to mention usually you'll have to live in the far flung suburbs to afford such a huge house, which means no walkable amenities nearby. If u actually come and visit the neighborhood you'll be shocked by how convenient this place is.

It was a social policy disaster. So it is really interesting to see it pitched as the ultimate luxe for the ultra-wealthy.
