HERO

The original five-story brick structure was incorporated into the redevelopment, with new construction rising above it. Published construction reporting documented the completed building in August 2020. The 1925 date attached to the property in PLUTO belongs to that earlier base, while the condominium tower is a much more recent development.

At the tower's northwestern corner, rounded balconies project in varying dimensions. Their changing outlines create the façade's movement and give some apartments exterior space with broad city outlooks. Other homes have windowed corners or more conventional wall arrangements. A balcony is therefore an apartment-specific feature, not an amenity shared by every residence.

The studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom mix emphasizes relatively compact urban layouts. Open living and kitchen areas are common, and in-unit laundry appears across the inventory. Some smaller homes are on high floors, while larger one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations occur below them.

The lower and upper portions of the building have different relationships to the street. An apartment within the base occupies a different position from one well above the elevated tracks. Buyers should compare the view and ambient sound from the actual living and sleeping rooms, since façade orientation is as consequential here as the marketed floor number.

Private exterior areas, where present, add a separate component to a home's usable space. Their curved shape can influence how furniture fits. Interior square footage should be kept separate from the balcony area when comparing homes with and without outdoor access.

HERO's amenity program includes more than 15,000 square feet of shared facilities, according to published construction reporting. Fitness and yoga spaces, social and dining rooms, a garden and a veranda form the lower amenity program. The roof lounge and deck create an additional common destination above the residential floors.

The attended lobby supports daily arrivals and deliveries. The building's combination of enclosed recreation rooms and outdoor areas creates different operating needs: heating and cooling for the interior spaces, and seasonal upkeep for planted and exposed areas. The veranda at the old-to-new building transition is also a distinct part of the property's physical layout.

The residential apartments are tax class 2. Assessment growth has no statutory annual cap, while the separate 421-a program provides a fifteen-year benefit beginning in 2018. DOF identifies the program as active on the 2027 roll. A buyer's ownership budget should account for its remaining schedule, especially as the development approaches the later years of the term.

The tax record includes one commercial lot alongside 109 residential lots. The residential count is therefore clear even though the building contains more than one property use. The largest residential owner shown on the DOF roll holds two apartments, indicating dispersed title ownership.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,260/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 0.0% from the last ask.
