Distinctive design, dynamic views
Center House and Hilltop, close neighbors in Van Wagner Place, share many unique features. Both apartment buildings feature exteriors that step in and out, creating a distinctive look that sets them apart from other residential buildings in the region:
- The playful use of expansive windows provides dynamic views.
- The loft units take advantage of the double-height spaces with window walls that flood the units with daylight.
