70 Pine took full advantage of New York City’s zoning setback laws when it was built. It has two wraparound terraces at the top (three, if you count the landing surrounding the spire), in addition to multiple terraces lower down on the building. Because of this unique design, about 150 of the 600 apartments will feature private outdoor space.
