Imagine looking out your window and seeing the symbol of American freedom on a daily basis. How about Ellis Island, the Staten Island Ferry? At 225 Rector Place, residents always have something to do when they’re feeling active,
and something to look at on those lazy days. There are 24 stories of views at 225 Rector, and each one is unique.

Just like the rest of the building, each room has its own unique feel. While the lobby feels like an upscale bank lobby with its double-height ceiling, limestone floors and 12-foot bronze-framed door, the lounge is more like the Rec. room
on the star ship enterprise. Large widows overlook Rector Park, and each piece of furniture has a crisp and futuristic appearance. Residents can relax here, or catch a movie in the custom designed screening room.

The Rector lobby is manned twenty-four hours a day, and that is good, since there is so much to do around the area that residents come and go all night. Around town, residents can catch city concerts at Battery Park, or take their dogs for a good jog at the dog run.

The current social trend is all about keeping in shape. 225 Rector has a 3000 square foot bi-level gym, circuit training, oversized windows to enjoy the view, and flat screen televisions to catch Oprah while exercising. And with a 4000 square-foot sky-lit pool, as well as a sauna and spa, residents will never want to get out of the water. Of
course, with a roof terrace sporting a view of the Statue of Liberty, they may reach a compromise and sit in the enclosed lounge to dry off, maybe fix a snack in the fully equipped kitchen area.

When it is time to go home, there is a lot to go home to. Each condominium is airy and pristine. The living rooms offer expansive windows and fumed oak floors. And if residents haven’t had enough of the water, they can lounge in their own deep soaking tub

The Visionaire is certainly a trend-setter on a national level. This is one of New York’s first all green buildings- a huge leap forward for city dwellers. The building entices the eye with a curved curtain wall of horizontal bands of terra cotta panels and glass casement windows designed by Rafael Pelli. A computerized 24-hour air supply monitoring system keeps the building’s supply of fresh, clean air available at all times. All faucets are designed to filter each ounce of water that passes through, and there is even an in-building wastewater treatment system that re-supplies toilets and central air-conditioning makeup water, conserving water use for environmentally responsible living. You can enjoy the green -designed roof garden that harvests rainwater to reduce runoff. Eco-friendly paints, sealants, and adhesives that emit low or very little volatile organic compounds (VOC) have been used to increase the interior air quality.

Each residence features sustainably harvested wood floors and an open kitchen finished with natural materials. The master baths are highlighted by teak cabinetry, limestone flooring, impressive fixtures, and glass tile mosaics. If all that is not impressive enough, views from this Battery Park building are of the Hudson River Harbor, the Statue of Liberty, and the downtown Manhattan. Studio, one, two, and three bedroom units are available.
