This 26-story, 121-unit apartment tower is one of the few post-war apartment towers in the Murray Hill district. It was erected in 1966 and converted to a cooperative in 1979.

The building's entrance is though its "sister" tower, the Carlton Regency South at 137 East 36th Street, which has a concierge, doorman, and an impressive lobby on its very large and nicely landscaped plaza that is raised several feet above the sidewalk.

Less than two blocks from the wonderful Morgan Library at Madison Avenue, this building is in a very attractive neighborhood noted for convenience to the midtown office district. It is two blocks north of cross-town buses and a few blocks away from a local subway station and six blocks south of Grand Central Terminal.

Although traffic going to the nearby Queens-Midtown Tunnel was once viewed as a negative in the area, most of that traffic is on Third and Second Avenues and the development of a luxury apartment enclave on the other side of the tunnel entrance near the East River and the renaissance of the Midtown South and Flatiron Districts to the south have made this neighborhood considerably more desirable in recent years.

This tower is not handsome as the south tower but on the other hand it has better views to the north.
