This development of five buildings was designed by Emery Roth for Bing & Bing, featuring richly textured reddish salmon brick façades and Art Deco detailing in the Beekman Place area. The buildings are distinctive for their tall ceilings and windows, with some apartments having one-and-half-story high living rooms, and the complex is considered Manhattan's most distinctive residential Art Deco ensemble. Currently, 1 apartment is for sale.
433 East 51st Street is part of the Southgate complex, a distinctive collection of five prewar buildings designed by renowned architect Emery Roth for developers Bing & Bing and completed between 1928 and 1931. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Beekman Place enclave, the complex is celebrated as Manhattan's most cohesive residential Art Deco ensemble, featuring richly textured reddish salmon brick façades and ornate terra cotta trim with fanciful iron loggias and window grilles. The 433 East 51st Street building was completed in 1930 and shares the complex's fortress like presence and architectural distinction.
The Southgate buildings are notable for their studio style apartments with exceptionally tall ceilings and windows, a rarity for their era. Many units feature one and a half story high living rooms, high beamed ceilings, wood burning fireplaces, hardwood floors, and windowed kitchens and bathrooms. Corner apartments typically offer multiple exposures with views of the landscaped private gardens shared among the buildings. Renovated units often include in-unit washer/dryers, walk in closets, and high end appliances from brands like Sub-Zero, Viking, and Miele. The complex has housed notable residents including John Lennon and Tony Award winner Tommy Tune.
The full service building offers a 24 hour doorman, on-site management, bike room, private storage, and access to beautifully maintained landscaped gardens and courtyards that provide a peaceful retreat. The co-op is pet friendly and permits pied-à-terre ownership and subletting, with financing allowed up to 80%. A particularly attractive feature is that electricity is included in the monthly maintenance, representing significant savings for residents. The location provides tranquil residential living adjacent to Peter Detmold Park and the East River while offering convenient access to Midtown offices, Grand Central Terminal, and the neighborhood's shopping and dining options.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
