between Second Avenue & Third Avenue View Full Building Profile
This rather massive, mixed-use building at 200 East 87th Street on the southeast corner at Third Avenue contains 131 apartments, a school and considerable retail space.
It is very convenient to public transportation and good neighborhood shopping. This area of Yorkville has changed dramatically over the past two decades and now has many high-rise luxury apartment towers. In 2009, two new condo towers were opened nearby on 86th Street, the Brompton on the southeast corner at 86th Street, and the Lucida on the southeast corner at Lexington Avenue.
This 23-story, beige-brick building was erected in 1992 by the Olnick Organization. It also has the address of 1553 Third Avenue.
It has an attractive entrance, concierge, valet service and a health club with pool. It has numerous terraces and attractive masonry quoins enliven its façade whose lower portion has irregular fenestration reflecting the special arrangements for the school.
While there is considerable traffic on 86th Street, which has excellent crosstown bus service and an express subway station at Lexington Avenue, Third Avenue to the north has an impressive array of towers on the east side and relatively low structures on the west side that provide substantial "light and air" to the avenue.
A cineplex is across the street in very handsome apartment building and the William Doyle auction house are also nearby on East 87th Street.
The Carnegie Hill neighborhood has numerous schools and religious institutions.
