The newly constructed OPUS apartments feature one-bedroom units and penthouse suites with state-of-the-art kitchens, spa bathrooms, high end finishes and modern open concept floor plans. Floor to ceiling windows bring in natural light and offer breathtaking views of the NYC skyline. Amenities include a rooftop terrace, fitness center, cozy lounge with fireplace and on-site parking.
