Solow Residential
Founded by developer Sheldon Solow in 1954, the Solow Building Company is headquartered at 9 West 57th Street in Manhattan. Its rental management arm, Solow Residential, specializes in luxury apartment living in prime Manhattan locations. The portfolio features sleek black-glass towers and even a collection of luxury townhouses, primarily on the Upper East Side and Midtown East. Solow-managed residences emphasize upscale amenities and service: most have 24-hour doormen and concierge, modern fitness centers, and many include rooftop decks, pools or landscaped courtyards — all designed to deliver a full-service luxury living experience with sweeping city and river views.
Beyond apartments, the Solow organization has undertaken major Manhattan developments. For example, One United Nations Park at 695 First Avenue is a recent Solow-developed condominium tower with a striking black-glass facade and panoramic views of the East River and city skyline. The company emphasizes a luxury, design-driven approach to urban living, characterized by meticulous attention to detail and white-glove service. For renters, this ethos means each building is treated as an upscale urban oasis: carefully crafted apartments with high-end finishes and full-service amenities give residents a comfortable, luxurious retreat even amid the bustle of Manhattan.

About Solow Residential and Their Properties
Two Sutton Place North, 1113 York Avenue
This "formerly impeccable" residential tower has seen "significant changes" since its management transition. Once lauded for its "comprehensive amenities" including shuttle service and "attentive staff," recent service reductions have "altered the luxury experience." While maintaining premium pricing, tenants note the "scaled-back services" including limited package room hours and reduced porter assistance have "impacted the building's appeal."
Two Sixty Five, 265 East 66th Street
This building draws complaints for "inconsiderate and loud tenants" and "filthy" laundry facilities, while "sub-standard" air conditioning and intense sun exposure mean those "views" management touts require "blackout draperies 18 hours a day" from May through September; add "rents that go up 10% per year," disputed "$50 late fees," and questionable space conversions ("slapped up a wall of Sheetrock" to transform dining rooms into bedrooms commanding "an additional $2000/month"), and residents report a frustrating living experience with aggressive pricing practices.
One East River Place, 525 East 72nd Street
This "glamorous" East River glass tower offers "breathtaking views" and "spacious layouts with high ceilings" that "wow" visitors. While the "friendly" doormen and staff earn consistent praise, recent management changes have led to "declining services." The "impressive" amenities include a pool and gym, though "persistent elevator issues" and "temperature control challenges" draw criticism from residents. The "dramatic" entrance with reflecting pool creates an "elegant first impression," but current tenants suggest "proceeding with caution" due to maintenance concerns. "Mixed" reviews on value relative to "premium" pricing.
