Carter Horsley's Review of Sterling Plaza

"Take the famous main tower of the Houses of Parliament in London and wrap it in cardboard and plunk it down in midtown and you almost have the Sterling Plaza, a 33-story apartment tower erected in 1985 at 255 East 49th Street on the northwest corner of Second Avenue.

This condominium tower has good proportions, lots of corner balconies and a very distinctive roof." Read Carter's Full Review

Pros

Colonnaded marquee
Attractive plaza with sculpture and curved planters

Broker & Buyer Comments

"This full service condominium offers a full time doorman and concierge, a beautiful and well maintained entrance garden, and an impressive lobby that has withstood the test of time. The building is setback from both 49th and 50th Streets, which enhances what many believe to be the most powerful attribute of the residences, the views. The majority of the board of The Sterling Plaza Condominium has completely turned over in the last 3 years for the first time since the 1980`s. The new board is young and is made up of predominantly new owners within the building. The right of first refusal can be obtained easily and quickly with the right relationship. The Sterling Plaza is located in a section of Midtown East known as Turtle Bay. The building is located in a high rent commercial and residential district, and enjoys close proximity to the United Nations, Midtown Offices, Grand Central Station, and the more residential enclave known as Beekman Place. Transportation is plentiful, including the 6 train @ 51st & Lex, the E&V trains @ 53rd & 3rd, Grand Central Station @ 42nd and Lex, and the crosstown and downtown buses that stop right outside of the building."

"Sterling Plaza is a luxury. full-service building with elegant lobby and lovely entry plaza. Blocks away from the 6, E, F trains."
