About The Manor, 333 East 43rd Street
This distinguished, 10-story, cooperative apartment building was erected in 1927 and was converted to a cooperative in 1988. It has 215 apartments and is part of the Tudor City complex developed by Fred F. French and is within the Tudor City Historic District.
The red-brick structure has extensive Tudor-style façade decoration and in 2001 its façade, which has three light-wells and two towers, was cleaned. It has a canopied, one-step-down entrance.
The building is close to the nice, large park at Tudor City and close to the Ford Foundation Building across the street. It is just to the east of the Permanent Mission of Malaysia to the United Nations and a block to the west is the very impressive Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations that was designed by Charles Correr and Bond Ryder.
This building has consistent, multipaned fenestration and sidewalk landscaping. It has a concierge and a Tudor-style lobby with wood entrance doors. It also has a gym and a roof deck and some penthouse terraces.
This street is also known as UN Way and has handsome light stanchions with flags with views of the Secretariat Building of the United Nations to the east and the Chrysler Building to the west.
There is excellent cross-town bus service on 42nd Street although subways are not too close. There are numerous restaurants in the area, which has good architecture mingled in with a number of former industrial buildings and postwar office buildings.
The building has ground-floor commercial space.
