Of course, there are a few inaccuracies in the press. I'm not sure I'd consider the building "luxury." It's quite nice--nicer than any place I've ever lived in--but certainly not top-of-the-line for New York. Our rent is far more reasonable than most places in Manhattan. The parking garage beneath the building is a public garage. A few tenets have cars there, but no one I know in the building owns a car. It's mostly commuters who park there, since it's location is pretty convenient for people who drive in. And most egregious, all the people who do live in Battery Park City luxury apartments will tell you flat-out that 90 West is most certainly not in Battery Park City. In fact, the building pre-dates the construction of Battery Park City by 65 years. When 90 West was built in 1907, it was built right on the Hudson River. Construction on Battery Park City began in 1972, extending the coast of Manhattan west of West Street. The apartment building is on the east side of West Street, meaning it is a part of the Financial District.
