The design of the building is characterised by irregularly stacked blocks, with a number of floor plates cantilevering out over the ground below.

The building contains 762 rental units, ranging from studios to one- and two-bedroom apartments. The design of the apartments is intended to ‘make smart use of space’, with built-in wall units serving as desks, shelving and storage space.

The building also contains a range of amenity spaces that are ‘designed to foster natural opportunities for residents to meet and interact’, including a residency program for scientists and artists, and a Creative Lab on the 68th floor.

On the ninth floor, the building offers a fitness centre and a light-filled communal kitchen and dining area. This level also houses a heated saltwater pool and outdoor deck, which can be used for parties, movie screenings and morning meditations.

According to Concrete:

"Urby is a rethink of the residential rental-housing concept that is design-driven, tailored to fit every neighbourhood, and developed with the needs of the contemporary urban renter in mind".

The first Urby project opened in 2016 on New York's Staten Island, and a third is scheduled to open in summer 2017 in Harrison, New Jersey.
