Ideally located on Somerset Street and Easton Avenue with direct walkway access to New Brunswick’s train station, which offers express service into Manhattan and Philadelphia, the 23-story building is the City’s tallest, offering impressive views of the Raritan River and New Brunswick skyline.

Situated on top of the retail component is a 14-story residential tower that houses 150 upscale rental residences and 42 Penthouse condominiums that occupy the top three floors. Initial occupancy for the residential homes is expected in February.
