The workplaces make it possible for residents to experience a “zero-commute lifestyle that caters to the needs of all employees, whether hybrid, remote or full-time in-office,” the company stated.

The developers also listed several amenities that could make the building quite different from other more conventional residential towers.

Among the amenities:

— a 6,700-square-foot fitness center.

— a fourth-floor lounge overlooking the historic Fox Theater. The space offers a social lounge, billiards and table games, a poker and card room, media lounge and a taproom.

— a fourth-floor deck with a cocktail pool flanked by day beds and chaise lounges, barbecue areas and firepits.

— outdoor coworking spaces.

— a 3,000-square-foot sporting turf lawn and a dog park.

 

— a 39th-floor penthouse lounge with panoramic views, gathering spaces, cocktail bar, 16-seat boardroom, kitchen, media wall, an outdoor lanai and terrace seating.

— sky terraces, a paw spa with washing and grooming facilities, bicycle and self storage and electric vehicle chargers.

The tower also offers vehicle-free options powered by a proprietary app to enable access to a fleet of Tesla vehicles, scooters and micro-mobility options.

The 1900 Broadway highrise may represent one type of unique approach that developers must take to attract residents at a time when skyrocketing interest rates, inflation and an uncertain economy loom over the real estate market — even housing towers.

“The most valuable companies in the world created dynamic ecosystems, not single products,” Colin Behring said. “At 1900 Broadway, we’ve applied this approach to real estate to create an exceptional residential experience.”
