THE BUILDING
A beautifully restored, award winning Manhattan landmark, The Octagon is Roosevelt Island’s greenest waterfront residence. Completed in 2006, fourteen stories of modernized, upscale residential rentals now flank the building’s signature eight-sided rotunda. The Octagon is classically dressed in pristine blue-grey stone and surrounded by plenty of fresh air, green space, and spectacular skyline views. Corner to cornice, The Octagon has been reinvented with the utmost attention to detail and sustainability.
THE RESIDENCES
The Octagon interiors are designed with strong environmental sensibility at no cost to comfort and space. The building’s 500 rental residences have floor-to-ceiling-windows that open to spectacular views of the New York skyline and allow natural sunlight to pour through every room. In the kitchen, smooth granite countertops and cherry-finished cabinetry complement sleek stainless steel Energy Star appliances, while warm hardwood floors run throughout. The Octagon offers studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom penthouse living.

Please note: apartment availability is always subject to change without notice; apartments are usually still available at the time we make the post, but in New York it is a matter of hours, not days, when they get rented. When contacting the management company, always ask for comparable options. Good luck in your search!
