Carter’s Review

"This 40-story apartment tower at 400 East 56th Street was one of the tallest in the Sutton Place area when it was erected in 1968 with 628 rental apartments.

It is known as Plaza 400 and was converted to co-operative apartments in 1981 and now has 581 apartments.  It is also known as 401-415 East 55th Street and 1006-1020 First Avenue."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "impeccably maintained" 40-story white-glove cooperative offers "old-world elegance" starting with its "grand entrance" featuring a "stunning 1840s Indian Palace chandelier." The "resort-like" amenities include a "coveted" rooftop pool, well-equipped gym and exclusive Skytop Club, while "meticulous" service comes via doorman, concierge and dedicated staff. Set in the "prestigious" Sutton Place neighborhood, it provides "seamless access" to upscale shopping, dining and transportation. While the co-op board maintains "stringent standards," residents praise the building's "financial stability" and "pristine upkeep." The "prime location" offers easy access to Bloomingdale's, fashionable boutiques and FDR Drive.
