From its perch at the intersection of three legendary Brooklyn neighborhoods, The Axel is the latest high rise to make its debut in New York City. Offering studio to three bedroom luxury rental units with access to an abundance of unrivaled amenity space.
Floor to ceiling windows, stainless steel appliances and a sleek look completed by imported custom cabinetry and white Corian countertops, the kitchen is only outdone by the elegant bathrooms with fully tiled showers, full medicine cabinets, backlit mirrors and more. Each meticulously designed home has wide plank flooring, nine foot ceilings, and in unit washer/dryer.
Located at 545 Vanderbilt Ave, The Axel is conveniently within walking distance of some of Brooklyn's landmarks including the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park, and Barclays Center. Transportation in the city is a breeze as The Axel is nested near over ten MTA train lines and the Long Island Rail Road.
The building's amenities include a bright fitness center, game room, golf simulator, coworking lounge, conference rooms, rooftop sun deck, and a private outdoor pool located on the fifth floor. The building also offers bike storage, and private storage cages for rent with a door person present seven days a week from 11AM to 7PM.
The Axel twists toward the sky and beckons you to hear its story. Let yours take shape here; living, working and entertaining and enjoying the life you've yet to live. Call or email to schedule your viewing.
