The Aspen is a seven-story New York rental building with 232 apartments. It was designed by the famous Costas Kondylis and Magnussun Architecture and Planning. The building is notable for its rooftop pergola and elegant two-tone facades. The Aspen has an elegant lobby finished in limestone and mahogany and offers elevator access.
The residences at the Aspen feature spacious layouts, many of which offer private balconies and terraces. The immense, oversized Thermopane windows are equipped with custom treatments and afford residents stunning city and river views. The luminous bamboo plank flooring is not only beautiful but environmentally friendly, as well. Each residence has individually controlled heating and cooling, which keeps residents comfortable year-round, and the homes are pre-wired for advanced high-speed telecommunications. The sleek kitchens are fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, polished black granite countertops and backsplashes, white porcelain tile flooring, and white Thermofoil wooden cabinetry. The bathrooms feature white Thermofoil wood vanities with a mirror wall above, as well as mirrored medicine cabinets, marble banjo-top counters, and polished chrome fixtures. Master bathrooms offer porcelain floor-to-ceiling shower surrounds, while second bathrooms feature subway tile shower surrounds.
There is a 24-hour concierge, a clubroom with billiard table and large-screen TV, a state-of-the-art fitness center featuring Life Fitness treadmills, elliptical cross-trainers, upright and recumbent exercise bikes, weight equipment, and stereo and TV systems, which overlooks the landscaped courtyard. The 10,000-square foot courtyard is complete with comfortable seating, decorative paving, dramatic lighting and lush landscaping with bamboo trees. There is a laundry room adjacent to the fitness center as an added convenience. An attended on-site parking garage with direct building access is a rare amenity in a New York rental building. The Aspen also offers a bike storage room and a private shuttle service to the Lexington Avenue Subway. The development is pet friendly.
