The Building
Vision   |  Amenities  |  History

Gloriously restored to pristine condition, The Octagon is a building unlike any in Manhattan. And now 500 rental residential units flank the landmark eight-sided rotunda in two dramatic new wings. Fourteen stories tall, faced with finely dressed gray stone to match the blue-gray schist of the rotunda itself, the building's classic lines evoke a Florentine grandeur, at once graceful and monumental.

The Octagon is as sumptuous to live in as it is to look at. Studio and 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom apartments let you take luxury for granted. High-speed internet and cable. Hardwood floors. Ceramic tiled kitchens with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. And best of all, floor-to-ceiling windows where the East Side skyline hangs in your living room like a colossal urban fresco. In designing and outfitting The Octagon apartments we followed a simple, unbeatable formula: state-of-the-art amenities plus out-of-this-world views.

The Octagon lifestyle is hard to beat as well. Want hotel-level services? We offer dry cleaning and laundry, valet, maid service, 24-hr. concierge, and doorman. Country club recreation? Try six tennis courts, a swimming pool, a 2,200-square-foot fitness center, a billiards room and private clubhouse. Family-friendly facilities at The Octagon include a playroom and waterfront playground, a daycare center, bicycle storage, and a café and convenience center with ATM. And for those with work to do, a business center provides conference and media rooms.

It may be hard to imagine that a residential community this hardnosed about your needs can provide this much sustenance for your soul. But at The Octagon we have not only imagined it, we've made it a reality. Like Roosevelt Island itself, The Octagon gives you the best of all worlds.
