Not actually an ADA compliant building Writing this review to warn other individuals with limited mobility and disabilities.

My companion and I were denied access to the elevator to visit Sky55 and the escalators were not in service, even though ADA access was announced throughout the premise (pictured).

The man in charge of letting us into the elevator literally eyed my companion up and down and determined he was not disabled enough to use the elevator asking him if he was not able to walk.

I've only been in the lobby of this building but it's a very nice lobby. It's very comfortable, the seating arrangements is usually very good and somehow some way there's always a seat available for me when I get there. There's only been one time which was the last time I went, that I actually had to wait a few minutes for a seat but it wasn't long before I was sitting in the table and then extending it to the next person who came to sit...
