Overview of 40 Sutton Place

40 Sutton Place holds the distinction of being the only condominium building in Manhattan's prestigious Sutton Place enclave. Built in 1954 and converted to condominiums in 1981, this 9 story beige brick building contains 74 apartments and features a polished black granite base with a canopied entrance. The building overlooks the Queensboro Bridge and offers many units with compelling East River views.

The full service building provides 24 hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, porter service, central laundry, bike storage, and private storage units available for residents. The building welcomes pets up to 35 pounds and allows pied-à-terre ownership, though there is a 3% flip tax on sales.

Apartments range from efficient studios to penthouses with private terraces. Many units feature hardwood floors, generous storage, and eastern exposures capturing river views. The penthouses are particularly notable, with some offering solariums, working fireplaces, and expansive outdoor spaces exceeding 300 square feet.

The building's history is intertwined with the development of Sutton Place itself, named after Effingham B. Sutton who first developed the area in 1875. The neighborhood has transformed from its industrial origins into one of Manhattan's most distinguished residential enclaves, offering proximity to Trader Joe's, Bloomingdale's, and the East River Esplanade.
