HOT AMENITIES
Who doesn’t hate moving, what with orchestrating all the details, to say nothing of packing it all up? Opt for a two-year lease at The Crest and the management will actually do it for you—from packing to scheduling and moving it in. The 37-story, 476-unit at 63 Wall Street—just steps from the NYSE—was originally designed for Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., the nation’s oldest and largest private bank, which occupied the building until 2003. From 425 to 2,000 s.f., these coveted residences range from studios to one- and two-bedroom—some with home offices and private terraces—and each with extravagantly high ceilings. Sure, there’s the long list of splendid amenities you’d expect to find in a building such as this, but that’s only half the story. What sets this spectacular rental apart is the massive great room on the mezzanine level that’s home to a health club, a private and very clubby screening room (there’s an on-site DVD rental service, too), billiards and games rooms, a conference room and a business center. Top that off with a fabulous sundeck offering views of the East River. Monthly rentals from $1,800 to upwards of $3,650, but there are some lease-signing concessions such as a month’s free rent.
