According to the former Laker’s development partner, Wasseem Boraie, “Shaq Towers” is 60% leased. He commented:

“It’s been a long journey and it’s one of those things that if you really aren’t committed you never would have done what we did. You gotta believe in your product, in your city and in your public partners and the private partners that are there with you. Development is not a sole practitioner sport, it’s absolutely a team sport.”

50 Rector Park is a slam dunk when it comes to amenities. The building boasts rooftop cabanas, grills, a gym, and it’s star quality is its perfect view across the river to New York City. Leases range from $1800 – $2700, with garage parking for $150 per month.
