Overview of 211 East 51st Street

211 East 51st Street is a boutique condominium building in Midtown East that began its life as a 14-story white-brick rental property in 1958. The building underwent a luxury conversion in 2008 under the direction of acclaimed architect Shamir Shah, transforming it into an upscale residential condominium.

The full-service building offers residents a 24-hour doorman, marble lobby, state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, storage facilities, and on-site laundry. A live-in superintendent maintains the property, which is known for its relatively low monthly carrying costs.

Residences range from one to five bedrooms, featuring high-end finishes such as Calacatta gold marble, white oak flooring, and custom Boffi closets in select units. Kitchens are equipped with premium appliances and designer cabinetry, while many units enjoy excellent natural light through oversized windows.

The building's location between Second and Third Avenues places it adjacent to Greenacre Park, a hidden urban oasis featuring a 25-foot waterfall and café seating. The property sits in close proximity to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and the Citibank tower, with convenient access to public transportation.

The building's history includes a notable attempted sale in 2007 for $42.5 million to Allied Properties, which fell through before Henry Justin acquired the property and proceeded with its conversion to condominiums.

This "boutique" post-war condo conversion in Midtown East offers "convenient city living" with its "central location" near Greenacre Park. The "well-serviced" building features a "striking lobby" with "organic materials," while amenities include a "fitness center," "resident lounge" and on-site spa. "Transportation couldn't be better" with easy access to multiple subway lines and Grand Central Terminal. The "intimate" 73-unit building provides "attentive" doorman and concierge service, while the neighborhood offers "everything you need" from groceries to dining options, plus the "coveted" Sutton Place outdoor scene in warmer months.
