The 1.5 million-square-foot complex consists of three glass towers designed by Eran Chen’s ODA New York, which include 857 rental apartments, 25,000 square feet of retail and 80,000 square feet of outdoor space. The apartments are largely studios and one-bedrooms, with prices starting at $2,000 per month, according to its website.

Starwood Property Trust originally provided $330 million in construction financing for the property in 2016.
