Overview of The Grand Beekman at 400 East 51st Street

The Grand Beekman at 400 East 51st Street is a 32 story condominium tower completed in 2003, marking the first major residential development in the exclusive Beekman Place enclave in several decades. Designed by Costas Kondylis & Partners and developed by Alexico Management and Gama Holdings, the building features 89 generously proportioned apartments with a sophisticated façade distinguished by a rusticated six story base, corner bay windows throughout, and an elegantly articulated top with prominent pilasters. The tower is considered one of the most refined post-modern buildings along First Avenue.

Apartments range from approximately 1,000 square feet to over 3,300 square feet and are built on a grand scale with prewar style layouts that separate entertaining and sleeping wings. Common features include 9.5 to 13 foot ceilings, herringbone mahogany floors, floor-to-ceiling French doors opening onto Juliet balconies, and curved windowed dining nooks. Kitchens are outfitted with marble countertops and premium appliances including Viking ranges, Sub-Zero refrigerators, and Miele dishwashers, while limestone and marble bathrooms feature double vanities, separate showers, and deep soaking tubs. Many units boast corner bay windows and expansive terraces with East River and Manhattan skyline views, with select apartments offering outdoor spaces exceeding 1,500 square feet.

Building amenities include a 24 hour doorman and concierge, a duplex fitness club with sauna, a children's playroom, a resident's lounge, and a conservatory with landscaped gardens designed by fashion designer Arnold Scaasi. The building permits in-unit washers and dryers, is pet friendly and investor friendly, and features a live-in superintendent with full time staff. While the building has no parking garage and is not immediately adjacent to subway service, it offers convenient access to crosstown buses and the FDR Drive, positioned on a quiet block within walking distance of midtown.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "upscale" full-service condominium in the coveted Sutton/Beekman area offers "fabulous" amenities including a "beautiful" health club, garden, and designer conservatory by Arnold Scaasi. The "great staff" provides 24-hour doorman and concierge service, while the location is "steps from" midtown dining and specialty shops. "Very easy" access to transportation with the subway just three blocks away makes this 2002-built residence a "convenient" choice for city living.
