I've been living here for 3 years, and it is a great building. As others have said, the proximity to Grand Central (express subways and Metro North) and to midtown offices is amazing. The interiors are typical of apartments built in the last 5 years -- nice, but nothing exceptional as luxury buildings go. But I do love newer buildings with no fear of cockroaches, mice, rats, etc.. The view from the roof is great (though the roof is still mostly undeveloped cement tiles with lawn chairs). Cement construction makes it quiet, and the elevators are fast. No parking, and no on-site storage. The staff is very friendly and has always been helpful. The on-site valet's dry cleaning has been reliable. The gym is very nice and new, and only crowded in the after-work rush hour.
Others have mentioned the homeless shelter around the corner. I have never felt threatened by anyone, never seen any drugs on the streets, and I don't think there are more homeless people here than anywhere else in NYC. Of course the doormen keep the building itself safe. I also believe that the shelter recently closed for "renovations" so it is possible they are permanently closed. So I think it's a non-issue.
