Formerly the Finch, Van Slyck, and McConville Dry Goods Company building, The Cosmopolitan Apartments was originally a Neoclassical building from 1911, which was transformed into a vibrant apartment community in 1989.

 

Since then, the building has undergone $8 million in upgrades to blend its historic charm with modern living. The property features studio, one- and two-bedroom floorplans, averaging 805 square feet, and units include stainless steel appliances, 12-foot windows, 16-foot ceilings, oversized walk-in closets, in-unit laundry and quartz countertops.
