One of the core amenities is the Continental Club & Spa which has a 50-foot indoor infinity-edge lap swimming pool with heated hydrotherapy spa, set within a double-height, glass-enclosed atrium and extending onto a sun terrace furnished with lounge chairs. A fitness and cardio center, yoga studio, his-and-hers locker rooms and his-and-hers treatment rooms are also be available to residents. The Club's lounge with a fireplace opens out onto a landscaped terrace with seating and dining areas and there is also a catering kitchen. The space has wifi and also includes a gaming lounge with billiards and LCD displays. For really amazing views, on the 48th floor, there is another sundeck and outdoor terrace lounge. Other amenities include a 24-hour doorman, concierge service, on-site valet services, on-site parking, and bicycle storage.

Apartments have floor-to-ceiling tinted windows, ceilings as high as 10 feet, white oak flooring throughout and Asko washers and dryers in every residence. Kitchens have tile flooring, quartz countertops and high-end stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms include marble vanities and Kohler tubs.

Last month Curbed took a tour and commented on the building's luxe amenities. One of the nicest features seems to be the amenity that nature (sometimes) provides, beautiful bright sunlight streaming through glass windows.
