According to Yardi Matrix data, the property last changed hands in 2018, when it was bought from Palazzolo Realty for $101.3 million. The buyer financed the purchase with a $66 million loan from Deutsche Bank that was retired in 2021 with a $77.6 million refinancing package.
Spanning across 23 two-story buildings completed in 1993, the community encompasses one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments averaging 773 square feet. Twenty percent of the units cater to households earning 60 percent of the area median income.

The community is close to several historical landmarks near the Hudson River. Dining and retail options are available in the surrounding area, along West Main Street.
