As a salesperson at Citi Habitats real estate, Tami Yassim connects clients with high-end residential living in New York City. The dwellings Tami Yassim represents include 685 First Avenue, located south of the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan.
Constructed in 2017 by Solow Building Company, the black-glass building rises 43 stories and contains 408 apartments, ranging in size from studios to three bedrooms. The west side of the tower features a screen that allows for dramatic views while maintaining privacy.
Conceived by Richard Meier & Partners Architects, the apartments use whitish colors and floor-to-ceiling windows to bathe interiors in natural light. The floors are finished in wide oak planks and the kitchens include Caesarstone countertops and Bosch appliances.
Residents can enjoy many perks. An indoor lap pool stretches for 70 feet and features a sauna and a steam room, while a fitness center comes with Technogym equipment and a yoga practice area. In the entertainment areas, residents and guests can play billiards or watch video favorites in a screening room. A separate playroom for children provides plenty of toy storage space.
