Overall I would recommend this building but here a detailed review from a 1.5 year resident:

ADVANTAGES
1. Beautiful well built & well maintained building with many amenities
2. Excellent staff with little turnover
3. Good location for downtown work and close to Tribeca/Battery Park City

DISADVANTAGES
1. NOISY. Fortunately the construction across the St has halted temporarily, but it was unbearable and will resume when funding is obtained and the WTC construction will continue forever. Each night the street is flooded with garbage from neighboring office buildings and from 1:00am-3:00am all you hear is garbage trucks.
2. The rents are pricy and landlord raises rents instead of lowering them in this weak market. New renters may get a better deal but landlord does not negotiate with tenants.
3. The area is still mostly business and very touristy/crowded (WTC)
4. Tenants tend to be transient and impersonal

Recommended: YES
