What 88 Morgan is like to live in
It is a full service tower in the Manhattan sense: a staffed lobby, a pool deck, a gym with a studio, a lounge, a screening room, and a playroom, all inside the building, with the district’s restaurants and the Newport supermarkets a few blocks away in either direction. The homes are glass and light, and above roughly the 30th floor the views run from the George Washington Bridge to the Verrazzano. The trade offs are the dues that fund the amenity program and the abatement question, which every buyer here needs to settle on paper.
