Oskar also includes a lobby complete with sky-lit reflective pond, a lounge, private sundeck, and rooftop space designed in collaboration with CetraRuddy, as well as a professionally landscaped terrace by HMWhite. Residents also have access to an in-building gym and are only a short walk away from Life Time Athletic at Sky, The Moinian Group’s 1,175 unit residential property at 42nd St. and 11th Ave. 

The Oskar transaction continues a tremendous phase for The Moinian Group.
