The Rennie

The building occupies a broad boulevard frontage with residential floors above a mixed-use base. Its eight-story scale accommodates a large inventory without a very tall tower. Interior-facing and street-facing apartments have different outlooks, with some homes facing landscaped courtyard areas and others looking across the surrounding streetscape.

The residential mix includes studios, one-bedrooms and larger multi-bedroom homes. Upper-floor apartments include compact studio and one-bedroom configurations as well as larger homes, so a penthouse description does not necessarily signify a large interior. Private terraces occur in selected residences, while the common rooftop serves the building as a whole.

Open kitchens, oak flooring and individually controlled heating and cooling are recurring interior features. In-unit laundry is present in multiple apartment types. The apartments entered service relatively recently, but individual upgrades and alterations can still produce meaningful differences between otherwise similar plans.

The developer identifies solar panels, water-saving plumbing, an energy-efficient boiler and green roofs among the project's environmental elements. These are building systems and landscape features; they should be distinguished from the finishes inside an individual apartment. The development was designed with residential, retail and community uses sharing one larger structure.

The Rennie's common facilities include an attended lobby, fitness room, playroom, work and social spaces, and rooftop outdoor access. A pet spa, bicycle storage and parking add practical services to the recreation program. Access to a particular storage area or parking space depends on its own arrangement.

DOF classifies the residential apartments as tax class 2 and the commercial property separately as class 4. Residential class 2 assessment growth is not subject to a statutory annual cap. The 421-a benefit changes the tax treatment during its term, but does not turn that classification into a capped-assessment class.

The 25-year benefit starting in 2020 extends across a substantial portion of a prospective ownership period. Its remaining schedule is therefore relevant to both budgeting and resale. A program's stated term should be read alongside the apartment's billed taxes and applicable phaseout, particularly when comparing a newly purchased home with an earlier owner's costs.

Market-rate and restricted apartments also have different transaction requirements. The latter can have buyer-income limits and resale controls that do not apply in the same way to an unrestricted home. Sharing the same lobby, amenities and building name does not make the two categories interchangeable for financing or valuation.
