This soft red-brick, 20-story apartment building was erected in 1965. It was converted to a cooperative in 1981 and has 163 units.

The building has a one-story, polished red granite entrance surround to leads to a two-step-down vestibule, which has also has a ramp, and a large-windowed lobby. The south side of this street has a nice row of townhouses, but there are some low-rise buildings with fire escapes on the north side.

The building is across the avenue from the very handsome Kips Bay Towers that were designed as towers-in-a-park by I. M. Pei. A large and handsome cineplex is one block south on the avenue and the medical complexes of Hospital Alley are nearby on First Avenue.

The building has a garage, basement storage, some terraces and a concierge. It has no balconies and no health club.

The Queens-Midtown Tunnel is a few blocks to the north and east. There is good cross-town bus service on 34th Street, but the subway is a few blocks away on Lexington Avenue.
