There are six units in all on the 691-foot tower’s top floor. Millennium markets the floor as the building’s 62nd story, though in reality it is the 53rd floor up from the ground — a tactic common in New York City luxury towers.
Winthrop Center is one of the largest buildings in the world to employ the environmentally friendly passive-house design, which significantly cuts back on energy usage. It has 317 residential units and more than 800,000 square feet of office space, with current and future tenants including Cambridge Associates, McKinsey & Co. and Deloitte.
