The Octagon Building hosted a Grand Opening Gala Celebration last Wednesday, November 13, showing off new interior renovations to the Roosevelt Island community.

The Twitterverse reported on the event

Heard the new amenities at the #octagon are fabulous. Anyone who went to the gala can report? $6.5k per month for a small 3 bed/2 bath at present. #mainstreetrealestate #octagonnyc #rooseveltisland

What did they say about outside improvements? Their outside - the pool, tennis courts, playground, bbq space etc - is already pretty great. It’s really just the location that’s the issue. But for people with a car I’m sure that’s less of a concern.

I think I agree. Unless I worked from home or commuted by car, which might change the calculus.

and the Octagon management added.

The Octagon residents connect to the Octagon Shuttle Express with quick arrival to Grand Central and Midtown. Recent interior renovations include a new fitness and spinning room, and exterior renovations will include enhancements to the outdoor pool and landscaping.

It was not up to my expectations and not a good souvenir for me. Food was scarce and it was poorly managed. Many residents were left without anything to eat and the waiters were not professionals. Regarding the amenities in the building, they are simply great.

I'm told the exterior renovations will include a fire pit as well.
