Overview of The Anthem at 222 East 34th Street

The Anthem, located at 222 East 34th Street in Midtown East, is a 21-story rental building completed in 2003 by developers Kamran Hakim and his son Scott. Designed by Costas Kondylis & Partners, the building spans 360 feet between Third and Second Avenues and contains 480 apartments plus approximately 50,000 square feet of commercial space. The distinctive red and tan masonry façade features three curved sections with "urban lantern" glass dormers stretching from floors 11 to 17, designed to create a luminous effect at night. The building's design was intentionally conceived to resemble three smaller buildings rather than a single monolithic structure.

The apartment mix consists primarily of studios and one bedrooms, with some two and three bedroom units ranging from 470 to 2,500 square feet. Standard features include granite countertops, maple floors, and marble bathrooms. Walk-in closets appear frequently throughout the building, with many alcove studios offering multiple closets and efficient layouts that accommodate separate living, dining, and sleeping areas. Select apartments include private terraces, in-unit washers and dryers, wood burning fireplaces, and corner windows that maximize natural light.

Building amenities include a doorman and concierge, parking garage, health club, three resident lounges, and a rooftop garden. The location offers convenient access to public transportation, the FDR Drive, and the Queens Midtown Tunnel, and sits near the concentration of medical facilities along First Avenue known as "Hospital Alley."

Broker & Resident Comments

This "luxury rental destination" in Murray Hill offers "spacious apartments" with "impressive closet space" and "abundant natural light." The "well-maintained" building boasts a "stunning roof deck with wrap-around views," 24/7 doorman service, and "pristine common areas." While the 34th Street location is "incredibly convenient" with "everything at your doorstep" including "countless restaurants," "shopping," and "easy access to transportation," some note it can be "predictably noisy." Building amenities include a "modestly sized gym," resident lounge, and "efficient package service." "Walking distance to Grand Central" and "proximity to Midtown offices" make it particularly appealing to professionals.
