Built for working from home
Apartments for remote workers at The Astelle
A resident library and lounge, floor-plans with room for a desk, and the 6 train three blocks away for the days you do go in. Mott Haven, built for working from home.
Working from home
A home that holds a workday without taking over your evening
When you work from home, your apartment is also your office, and the two roles compete for the same square footage. The fix is not a bigger desk; it is a home with somewhere to work that is not the foot of your bed, and somewhere to stop working that is not the same chair. The Astelle is laid out for exactly that separation.
Between layouts with room for a real desk, a resident library and lounge a few floors away, and a quiet daytime building, the workday has somewhere to live that is not your only room. And on the days you do go in, the 6 train is three blocks away. Commute-optional, not commute-impossible.
Where the work goes
The spaces a workday actually needs
Working from home well is a question of rooms: a desk that fits, a quiet room beyond your own, and a way to close the laptop and leave it. Here is where each of those lives at The Astelle.
A resident library for heads-down work
The resident library is the building's quiet room, a change of scene a few floors from your door for the hours that need real focus. It is the difference between staring at the same four walls all day and actually moving between a home and a workspace.
A layout with room for a desk
The two-bedroom layouts give you a second room that can be a genuine home office: a desk, a chair, and a door that closes on the workday. Even within a single home, the open living area keeps a clear corner that a desk can claim without crowding the room.
A lounge to step away to
The resident lounge gives the workday a clean ending: a place to take a break, meet someone, or just close the laptop somewhere other than where you opened it. Working from home is easier when leaving the desk does not mean leaving the building.
The daily rhythm
Quiet by day, connected when you need it
A remote workday runs on quiet, and a residential building in a flat, low-rise stretch of Mott Haven gives you that during the hours most of the city is at the office. The building's shared spaces, the library and lounge, are there precisely for the daytime, when the people who use them are most likely to be home.
Commute-optional is the honest frame: most days your commute is a walk to the second bedroom, and on the days you do head in, the 6 train at 3 Av-138 St is three blocks away, roughly a 25-minute ride to Grand Central. You keep the option without paying for it every morning.

Questions from remote workers
Is The Astelle good for working from home?
Yes. The layouts leave room for a real desk, the resident library and lounge give you a quiet room beyond your apartment, and the building is residential and calm during the daytime. The workday has somewhere to live that is not your only room.
Is there space for a home office?
The two-bedroom layouts give you a second full room that works cleanly as a home office, with space for a desk, a chair, and a door that closes. Even in a single home, the open living area keeps a corner a desk can claim.
Can I work from the shared spaces?
The resident library and lounge are exactly the change of scene a remote workday benefits from, a few floors from your door. They are most useful by day, when the residents who use them are most likely to be home and working.
How far is the commute when I do go in?
The 6 train at 3 Av-138 St is about three blocks away, roughly a 25-minute ride to Grand Central, with the 4 and 5 express nearby. Commute-optional: most days it is a walk to the second bedroom, and the train is there when you need it.
Is it quiet enough for video calls?
The building is residential and low-key during the daytime, and a second bedroom with a door that closes gives a remote worker a quiet, separate space for calls. For specifics on a particular residence, the leasing team can walk you through the layout.
