70 Pine

📍 When 70 Pine was built in 1932, it was the third tallest building in the world and served as the headquarters for the Cities Services Company in New York City. Today, the landmarked Art Deco building has been reborn as a modern residential building. ★★★★★

I love living here, but one issue is that they make it EXTREMELY difficult to move things in or out of the building. Their Certificate of Insurance requirements are higher than what many (even high-end) companies provide, and the agents will basically just reject your requests and be unhelpful while you struggle to meet their requirements.

Fantastic rooftop! You can enjoy a superb city view while sipping a cocktail. It is not crowded.

I have lived at 70 Pine for over 8 years and was the first renter on the 45th floor. The building is kept immaculate and the staff could not be friendlier and everyone knows my name. If something is broken or not working well it is fixed or replaced the same day. Having a grocery store, gym and bowling alley is very convenient and fun. The building also has 2 restaurants and a fantastic roof bar. I am planning on renewing my lease when it comes due again. I can’t say enough good things about 70 Pine. Regards Gregg Lempp

I rented an apartment at 70 Pine, sight unseen. Actually- not completely correct. The mgmt did well to post an interior 360 degree view of the apt- and it it’s exactly as it was shown. Better- the building staff are great- friendly and will fix something super quickly. Even better- there is little to no waiting for elevators. And there are plenty of elevators. It’s surprisingly quiet for such a large building too, shocking given (like myself) lots of renters with dogs here. The art deco design never grows old. I dunno, everything just works…I’ve never lived in NYC and feel super fortunate to have selected this building. Also- good location near all trains and decent food all around. I highly recommend 70 Pine St.

Extremely Disappointed with 70 Pine Apartment Complex I am incredibly frustrated with the management at 70 Pine and their handling of my gym access. My husband has faithfully paid for the gym membership since we moved in, yet now I am being denied access to the amenities I’ve been using from day one. Despite my husband’s constant payments for this membership, the management is now attempting to force him to add me to the lease, which has never been an issue before. This is completely unacceptable. I have sent multiple emails to Lily Bloom (both from my husband and myself) with no response. The lack of communication and the inability to resolve a simple issue is appalling. It’s worth noting that all employees in the building are aware that I’ve been using the gym for months without issue, and they know that my husband, as a busy attorney, is always working. Despite this, the management continues to charge for the membership while refusing me access to the very amenities we’ve paid for. This is not only unprofessional, but it also feels like an attempt to unfairly complicate an issue that should have been handled with basic customer service and professionalism. If this situation is not addressed immediately, I will be forced to consider further action, including legal options. This ongoing disrespect and mismanagement are unacceptable, and I demand a resolution now.

I've lived here for almost 3 years, with no thought of leaving. This building is wonderful - I barely hear my neighbors, everything is well-built since the building is originally from 1930 and the apartments were installed in ~2013. Great, full-size, reliable appliances (my 550 sq ft studio has a full-size dishwasher, and full-size in-unit stacking W/D), and amazing light. The staff is what makes it though - the guys in the package room, the front desk guys, the doormen, and the maintenance guys are SO nice and so responsive. It's also just beautiful - the lobby is all different colors of marble, and there are water views from most units. Management is super responsive. The transit is unbeatable (1 2 3 4 5 6 A C E N Q R W J within blocks), super safe and quiet at night, near parks and waterfront. Utilities and internet are very reasonable thanks in part to the old-school build of the building. The best place I've ever lived, very satisfied – it's beautiful and well-built and well-maintained, but the staff is what really makes this place shine.

Paper thin walls. I really wanted to like this building because concierge, doorman and other staff are great but what’s the point of paying extra if you can’t even sleep at night since you can hear your neighbors screaming every night. It’s not worth the money and your mental health is more important. The soundproofing is a joke here since you can hear everything, not even joking. Management won’t do much about it so you’ll get stuck with your lease and a crazy neighbor like we did. Avoid.

70 Pine is a historic building, with great amenities and convenient coffee shops and Crown shy in the lobby. The building has lots of history (landmark) and the marble lobby is a sight to behold. Apartments themselves are pretty average. The kitchen appliances are just ok, and the stove is on the smaller end, and generally electric. Studios are pretty small, and ask for quite a lot. People still rent here though, because the amenities are great, and the location is pretty convenient. If space isn't too much important and you want great amenities, this apartment is a good choice, but otherwise, the price per square foot is not a great deal.

Review is for Leasing Office. Management/leasing quickly resolved a bad experience i made known to them. Willing to vouch for a leasing office that personally reaches out to ensure potential residents have a good experience.

Cannot sleep at night because of construction nearby!!! Also constant issues with AC that is still not fixed. Additionally, every time I have a question to management, all my emails are being ignored... you will never get any answer, never mind any help resolving your issues with apt, lease, gym membership... Gym membership is now $85 per person per month and less options for classes and the timing is now changed to 12pm, 5pm, 6pm... will only work for people who don't work...

My husband and I have lived at 70 Pine for over a year now. We love the gorgeous, historic building, we love its amenities, and we love the location (easy walk to the Wall Street and Fulton Street stations, Stone Street for dining, the Seaport District for entertainment, shopping, & dining, and being close to the water with its bike/running lanes). We have had great experiences with Rose Associates. The app makes it easy to add guests/dog walkers, it notifies you when you have a package, and putting in a help/maintenance request is super easy! Whenever we have put in a help ticket, we have someone respond/fix the issue within minutes or a few hours, just depending on the day and time. We never hear our neighbors, our balcony is great to have outdoor space and get some fresh air, and overall, we just really enjoy living here. Everyone is always super friendly. If I had to think of a negative, I would just say that sometimes people take their dogs out to go to the restroom, and dont lead their dogs further away from the Cedar Street entrance, and you have to dodge a puddle or two. I do see building maintenance hosing off the sidewalks everyday though, which is great. :)

I've been living at 70 Pine since May 2016... one of the first people to move in. It is such a luxury to live here. The doormen and concierge couldn't be more easy going and helpful. If I ever have an issue in my apartment, it's fixed immediately. I have never seen a bug. It's insanely clean. I'm the first person to live here. We have an insane gym, steam room, bowling alley...every train is right here. Happy to be here!

My fiancé and I moved in in April 2016 and were some of the early residents to the building. The building is absolutely gorgeous. The building has been impeccable, but we were also the first to live in our unit. We've never had any issues with our AC unit or water temperature/pressure. The front desk staff and doormen are always incredibly friendly and helpful. The management has also been quite good. They are very responsive and provide frequent updates on construction and other building matters. The location is so convenient -- right across from the 2/3 and a few blocks from the 4/5. City Acres opening just downstairs has also been SO NICE! I just hope they open a direct entrance into the store so we don't have to walk around in the rain and snow. The only time we had an issue with noise was with one of our neighbor's dogs. We complained a few times to management, which issued her several notices and took care of the situation. Otherwise, we've thankfully never heard anything out of our neighbors -- no TVs or conversations heard through walls. Sometimes the wait for elevators can be some time during rush hour but it's not so bad... I've definitely experienced worse. Our internet has slowed since the building has opened floors and more people move in but we just switched to Verizon from TWC and that seems to have taken care of the problem. I would say my only complaints are that La Palestra (the gym), being a separately owned company, is an additional fee. I would even give up the full basement floor gyms just for use of the 9th floor cardio room. I already have a gym I love and use and can't justify an additional gym. The 18th floor lounge (a converted corner apt) is available to all residents, though. The leasing office has been good but I do think that with the number of units coming on the market in FiDi, the rent is a bit too expensive. I love the building but it may no longer justify the cost. They do not currently allow you to pay with your credit card, either, as many other buildings do so that would be nice. Overall, I would highly recommend this beautiful, convenient building to any of my friends.

I have been here for 7 months now and really enjoy the building. Everything in the apartment is new and works well. The building doesn't feel like your typical cheap construction. There used to be some construction noise in the morning but thats now completely over. I assume construction is done by now. La Palestra (the gym and amenity center) just opened its 2nd floor with additional equipment, a screening room, bowling alleys , pool tables and ping pong tables + additional fitness equipment. It really is awesome. Its simply the best gym I have ever worked out in. Well designed, huge variety of high end state of the art equipment and very very spacious/ never crowded. Every morning on my way out, I pick up my coffee and croissant at Black Fox Coffee in the lobby of the building.. I love that as well The building staff and Management are super professional- huge difference then previous experience i have had renting in NYC before. Hope it all stays that way!

The apartment is great. Views are amazing. It's expensive, but you know that going in. The issue is the building management. Front desk and maintenance are amazing. But the team at Rose has to be hounded for everything, never follows up nor return a phone call. The fact that they respond to the comments on here is actually a joke.

I have just moved into 70 Pine Street. And from initial meeting to final sign up the experience was peerless. From Alyssa and Ryan to the brilliant team of Bill, Naim, Gustavo, Darwin and others...my move in has been fantastic. I name the people because whilst the building is exceptional in every way, newly renovated, amazing gym, bowling alley and amenities..these things are stark without the warmth and culture of the people running the operation. Whatever the company culture at Rose NYC...the landlords...they have inculcated their team with a consistent standard of excellence. I don't just live at 70 Pine. I feel at home here. It's my home. And that's probably the most telling measurement you can put on any place you rent. Bravo to the team. I recommend 70 Pine. SC.

70 Pine truly is the "Top of Downtown". Everything from the apartments, the amenities, the leasing office staff, and the doormen is top notch. I did a lot of research comparing the different properties in the area and I can say without a doubt that 70 Pine has the most compelling case as the best of them all. Although my girlfriend and I just moved in, all expectations we had for the building have been exceeded. Thank you to Lorraine and the rest of the staff for making the whole process seamless. I highly recommend 70 Pine!

After 9 years in the city, this is my first experience renting with Rose Associates, and also is the first time I provided negative feedback about my experience to building management. Essentially, my primary complaint was excess construction noise at odd hours (before 6am) as the building is still a work in progress. A senior member of management (shoutout to Mitch) reached out to me reasonably quickly to better understand my complaint. In the end, he offered to allow me to move to a higher floor in the building, in hopes of alleviating the street noise. It's still early days with respect to the noise, but I was so impressed with management's response that I had to post a review. It's uncommon to receive such quick, satisfactory customer service, and I'm extremely pleased with the way my problem was handled, as well as with my new space. Thanks 70 Pine!

The staff is great, we absolutely love the size and layout of our apartment, the building itself is beautiful, but almost everything else is an issue, and I have been renting apartments in NYC for more than 10 years. I've never been as dissatisfied as I am now. We've lived at 70 Pine since the fall 2016 and were concerned about moving into a new building, but took the risk. I regret that we did and I regret moving out of a building managed by a management company I knew well and LOVED. I know people who worked for Rose and have left because this building is fraught with issues, and we live those issues every day. I don't know if these are unique or common to renovated office buildings turned into apartments, but it makes day-to-day life stressful and annoying. We live on the 24th floor and we hear constant street noise - mainly honking - from Pine Street, because Pine is not a street meant for this amount of traffic. It can hold one car without any room for cars to pass, so if anyone is being dropped off or picked up, Pine will get backed up. They do not have a drop off area because they can't get one zoned. This happens all hours of the day but gets very bad at night. There is also a hotel, but there is only 1 official entrance (the entrance on Cedar requires walking past trash and Cedar is a gross street, plus is not accessible), so everyone, hotel guests and 1200+ residents, use the front door most of the time. The building allows dogs of all sizes and both the front and back entrances always smell of dog pee. (Elevators often smell of dog or dog pee too) I lived around the corner before moving to this building and the entryways never, ever smelled. If you rent an apartment with a balcony, it is an additional $1000/month, but apparently, they are covered in other people's cigarette butts. You can often smell smoke in hallways, whether from someone burning their food or smoking. This is an example of an email they send residents at least once a month: "We are making continuous strides to improve our building here at 70 Pine. Not only is improper disposal of Cigarettes a fire hazard, but it is a direct violation of your lease. 'Improper disposal of cigarettes is considered "Objectionable Conduct" as defined in Section 12 of your Lease Agreement, and engaging in this behavior is a violation of the same.' Do not throw them out of the window or off of your balcony, this is an improper way of disposal. Please see the below section of your lease in reference to your neighbors: 83. Noxious Odors and Hazardous or Toxic Materials Tenant shall not permit any noxious odors or objectionable odors to emanate from Tenants Apartment or any area of the Building. Further Tenant shall not use, generate, store or dispose of any type of hazardous or toxic materials or substances at, from or in the Apartment or any area of the Building. Please join in the efforts in keeping 70 Pine clean and be courteous to our neighbors! " Other issues: -there are only 4 elevators that go up in the City Collection tower. They converted one of the elevator shafts into apartments on every floor, so that is no longer an elevator. You can wait 5+ minutes for an elevator during busy times. The building WAS NOT MEANT to hold this many residents, and they squeezed them in wherever they could. -one elevator was out in the Tower Collection for months. -the entrance on Pine Street is often unmanned, and anyone can come in and out. This is made worse by hotel guests and honestly, it looks like there are lots of AirBnB guests as well. This is "prohibited" by the lease, but I constantly see new people, with suitcases, taking the resident elevator who don't know what they're doing or where they're going. - Front desk is often overloaded with a long line of residents, guests and delivery guys waiting. The front desk guys are completely overwhelmed with residents, guests, deliveries, Seamless, etc. So it is very easy to just walk into the building to get to the elevator...because there is nothing stopping anyone from getting there except office-building style turnstiles (yes, you need a fob to get into the elevators), but you can easily piggyback onto someone else entering. - On windy days, building creaks like an old pirate ship. The first time this happened, we freaked out, but then once we figured out what it was, were pretty annoyed. Anytime there is a decent wind, the entire apartment creaks very loudly. Last night, it was so loud in the wind that we decided to measure the decibel level in the middle of the night, because even with ear plugs, I could hear the noise. It was at 79 decibels, loud enough to wake you up and keep you awake, again, even with ear plugs. - Nothing stopping hotel guests from bypassing front desk and accessing residents elevators except for an unlocked, half height glass door with a buzzer that seems to ignored by building staff

I'm a former resident of 70 Pine and I have to say it was a luxurious stay. The whole staff really did always go above and beyond to resolve any conflicts and make it feel like home. The person who most stood out to me was Ivan. Ivan is the assistant leasing manager. I had a complicated moving/lease assignment situation and he relentless helped with every twist and turn of the the experience. A lot of people wouldn't have devoted the time and energy, but he did and I'm very grateful. He is a great example of someone you want on your side when going through the stress of any changes in your living situation. Definitely go see him if you need a new place to live!

Pros: - Alex, Bill, and the entire front desk team are the best in the world. It's only been a few weeks and I already miss them terribly. - The entire team that handles maintence and the guys in the mailroom are equally as wonderful. - Great little restaurants nearby. Any type of food you could want. I'm bummed I missed the new ice cream place on Cedar St! - The team was great about elevators when there was a problem or when one was down. It was impressive given that there are *so many* units. - The move-in process was awesome. I worked with Lorraine and she was absolutely on top of everything. I rented my unit without seeing it first, so she went out of her way to send me videos and pictures so I'd be excited and less nervous :) - Great amenities, but I wish they had a pool :( - The grocery store in the building is SO great. It's obviously on the expensive side, but if you need a quick meal or simple groceries, it's amazing. Meh: - The units are not by any means bad, but it's hard to justify that they were worth the outrageous NYC prices. That being said, this is New York and they have to stay competitive. They are very basic, but I did love the flooring. The people that work in this building are just the absolute best. I moved out two months ago and already (literally, moving back to New York) want to move back in :) Make sure to ask for Lorraine when you look at units. She really goes above and beyond. I had a few questions when I moved out that Tamara was also incredibly gracious in helping me better understand. Hope to live in this building again.

We rented a studio for 3 nights over the 4th. Great property. Location was perfect for us. Clean room with lots of space. All around, all good.

When it comes to luxury apartments in Fi-Di this one is a stunner. If you value privacy and security this building is a great choice with doorman service and secure access turn styles. Conveniently there is a supermarket located right downstairs as well as a cafe. In the lower level there's a gym and a mini surround sound theater located within an old vault, a pool table, and paddle ball and even two lanes for bowling. You have to swipe in to use all the amenities. There are tons of apartments per floor and multiple wings; some of which are shared with a hotel. The layout of the apartments is intelligent and strategic. Although the smaller units like the studios may not be huge in square feet they certainly feel more spacious due to the layout. I really love the brightly lit vanity in the bathroom. The views are amazing on the upper floors. I hear they are going to open a restaurant on the roof. As of right now there's some scaffolding that takes away from the overall beauty and not all of the entrances can be utilized but still minor and temporary inconveniences. Pets are allowed.

Just moved in. I'll revisit this review after a few months. The positive: - Beautiful building - Amazing gym at a reasonable price - Doormen have all been great The Negative: - On the higher floors, only 2 elevators are working. I see 5 elevators in the bank, but with only 2 working, the wait is brutal. I can only imagine what will happen once the building fills up with more residents. - Maintenance people don't respond. We've submitted multiple requests and have haven't heard back for days. Thankfully our maintenance issues aren't too severe, but the service here is really bad. - Intercom doesn't work. There's a loud buzz and you can't hear anything.

After discussing my issue with management they made an effort to make improvements. That is what speak volumes to me.

I've lived in several buildings downtown, and I'm very pleased with my decision to move to move to 70 Pine. General / Move in - Management company was super helpful while I was viewing apartments, and I ended up with great value for my space relative to other options downtown. The experience of applying for the apartment to the approval process all the way to move in went smoothly, both the management company and building staff were great. Amenities - There's already some great amenities, with some new exciting ones coming. The gym is pretty amazing, tons of space, all the equipment is new, and pretty much all the free weights and machines you need. The buildings also opening some additional workout space and great amenities soon (golf simulator, bowling lanes, and some other cool stuff). The coffee shop on the first floor has really good coffee and just opened up on Saturdays as well. Theres also some additional amenities the management company mentioned coming soon (grocery store in building). Location / Noise / apartment - The buildings right above the 2/3, which is great for me (work on the west side), and just a few blocks from the Fulton stop, so its pretty easy to get anywhere in the city. Its also pretty sheltered from any street noise, as cedar and pine are both pretty quiet streets. I'm in a studio, so I didn't have particularly high expectations for appliances & space, but I was pleasantly surprised. I've got more space than I had in my prior buildings, at the same price so its great value and my apartment has got all new appliances as well as a washer and dryer. I'm pretty sure the management company mentioned this is true of all the units. All in, definitely pleased with the decision to move to 70 Pine

I just moved in a week ago. So far it has been great. Rose Associates is one of the better management companies in NYC and EVERYONE has been great. I'm nostalgic about the building, has been here for a long time, and the detailing is beautiful. They have done an amazing job of combining the best of old and new. Yes, it is still under construction...but if you can't deal with construction noises, NYC probably isn't the best place for you. I'm excited for the bowling alley to open and the rest of the amenities to be completed, but I'm just as excited every day I go home. I never would have thought I'd be so excited to live in the Wall Street area, but so many things have been changing in the area that it has been fun to explore a new (old) part of the city. I highly recommend taking a look!

I have lived in this building for 2 years. The doormen are extremely pleasant and attentive and the package system is always organized and speedy. This is a newly renovated building, so I have had 0 maintenance issues during my entire time here. The property managers are always nice and easy to reach. The rooftop/community room is my favorite part of the building - it is very well maintained and has a great view! It has been really convenient being so close to the 2/3, 4/5, and the A/C. Have nothing bad to say about 70 Pine. This is a true gem in FiDi!!

We have lived at 70 Pine since early 2016 and were some of the first residents who moved in. We loved our time here. The apartments are spacious and a great value on a price-per-square foot basis. The management team is excellent - very responsive and flexible - they recently allowed us to extend our lease for a week to accommodate extra time we needed before closing on a condo. The building also does cool programs - like bringing in different restaurants that serve dinner in the lobby every Wednesday. I expect the building will only get better with the additional services to be items, such as the grocery store. It's also great that a hotel is in the building for guests. Lastly, we never heard any noise from our neighbors or ever received any complaints. We will miss it.

I feel tricked! Everything looked nice because it was new however after a couple weeks I see how they tricked me. "Veneer" is the best way to describe this place. I didn't think that newly renovated buildings could have walls this flimsy so I didn't think about it when I was viewing the apartments. I'm nowhere near the elevators but can hear them from down the hall (no I don't have superhuman hearing). Normally I would get over an elevator sound however, everytime neighbors have guests over I hear them...noise from upstairs and both side neighbors (70 pine's version of surround sound). after proudly sending the 70 pine link to a few close friends, I was nominated to host our 4th of July party on the roof. This was quickly shot down by Rose Associates since the building owners closed it off for their own private party... Recently all residents received a building email luring us to look at higher priced units in their "tower collection". I was curious but after seeing the crazy prices (nearly $4000 for a studio), I got distracted by thinking about what kind of moron would pay that much for a studio where you constantly hear your neighbors. It makes no financial sense to drop that much on a rental...not accumulating any equity... The lobby was cool until they installed turnstiles. Turnstiles are for office complexes, not apartment buildings...it feels like I never left the office when I get home... Only good thing is that when I had a service issue, they usually come same day. If you get tricked like me, bring your earplugs!

This is a beautifully restored building. I have been living here since early January and have few complaints: excellent amenities, brand-new apartments with fine finishes, and attentive staff. My main gripe is that there is not yet any rooftop access, and will likely not be any for some time. Management has closed off the roof access for residents pending them finding a suitable tenant (a restaurant / bar). If I had to guess, it will likely be years before a tenant opens in that space. In the meantime, and especially with the summer coming up, residents will have no roof access. This is an amenity that is fairly common at other buildings in the area at similar or lower price points. It would be nice if, for the summer, management could find some way to make at least part of the (expansive) rooftop space accessible to residents.

amazing.. Rental agent Sally was beyond patient and kind. I would have murdered us by now.. but she has been patient and held our hands during the entire process to make a deal work for us. Truly a gem!

Since my initial review, the building has galvanized into action. They responded to me immediately and also increased their communication with tenants about ongoing issues. And, I am thrilled to report that the elevators to the high floors have been repaired. It is a game changer. I would again recommend living in 70 Pine. All the positives are still there, and the issues have been addressed. Great units and amenities and good price point in an up and coming neighborhood.

Saw a demo in a rushed, crowded tour of one apartment during Open House New York. Unlike the other Open Houses, there was very little of the building open and very little time to see anything. I did see a one bedroom, which seemed very small and awkwardly laid out at a really stunning high price. It seemed more like Lead generation than a real insight into the building. The ride down in a cramped service elevator with about 8-10 people was also not fun.

I have lived in the building for about a month, and have had a great experience so far. The apartment is large, finishes are nice, and there is a ton of closet and storage space. It is very close to lots of transportation, as well as a lot of great restaurants and eating options.
