Building: 725 East 9th Street

AWAKEN at the breaking of dawn, greeted by sunlight flooding your bedroom in this sprawling prime East Village apartment building on a tree-lined block.

Maybe a quick workout in the hybrid open-air gym complete with equipment for weight training and calisthenics, or even challenge one of your neighbors or roommates on our state-of-the-art treadmill, elliptical, or 3rd-gen AMT (adaptive motion trainer) stride machine.

Fancy a book and fresh air instead? Head to our courtyard. Enjoy your morning brew, or maybe a cup of warm green tea, book in hand, beneath the shade of one of our Japanese Pagoda trees, serenaded by birdsong.

As you exit the building, which soon you may be calling home, you will notice on your left, an artful depiction, a collection of shapes and colors, abstract at first, but then suddenly clear… a relic of the past, and a reminder of a brighter future:

To your left, you’ll see a hand-made one-of-a-kind full wall MOSAIC mural created by Jim “Mosaic Man” Power — local artist, veteran, and hero by many. An elderly living legend who battles severe physical disability to create some of the most breathtaking and valuable public art pieces in the East Village and beyond.

Imagine being reminded of how vibrant, beautifully stimulating, and together perfect – a melting pot of cultures, ideas, experiences, where a new journey awaits you around every street corner – a reminder, ever day, of our, your New York City.
