About The Gotham, 170 East 87th Street
This large apartment tower that replaced a movie theater on the site is one of the few buildings on the Upper East Side to offer some duplex apartments with double-height ceilings, a feature very nicely revealed in the façade by the large recessed balconies on both the avenue and the sidestreet.
Developed by William Zeckendorf Jr. and partners and Tony Yamada, this hefty 27-story, 241-unit condominium building was designed by Frank Williams & Associates. It is notable also for its very attractive watertank enclosure, which is similar in design to one that Frank Williams designed for the Alexandria on Broadway at 72nd Street.
This light-colored brick building opened in 1983 and its avenue frontage includes a movie theater complex.
Some of the apartments have fireplaces. The building has a concierge and doorman, a health club and pool, a children's playroom and a lounge with dining room and kitchen for the residents' use.
