The new condo units at the 63-story property, which is located between Ninth and 10th avenues, will be luxurious but “still affordable,” Kuafu’s chief executive officer Shang Dai told the newspaper.

Units on the first 50 floors will continue to be rentals, according to the Observer. Studios in the building start at $4,155 per month.

Kuafu now owns more than 1 million square feet of retail, residential and hotel space in the city, according to the newspaper. [NYO] — Claire Moses
