Completed in 1987, this modern 28-story limestone-clad tower is a distinctive addition to the Upper East Side, offering a clean and contemporary aesthetic just one block from Central Park. Designed by Leibman Leibman Associates, P.C., the building stands out with its striking slanted roofline, reminiscent of the iconic Citicorp Center, angled toward Central Park to maximize views.
A hallmark of its design is the limestone façade, a thoughtful nod to pre-war elegance while embracing modern architectural sensibilities. Its unique features include several rare double-height units facing a charming sidestreet, which adds a sense of openness and sophistication uncommon in the neighborhood. These double-height "studio" spaces highlight the building's innovative approach to Upper East Side living.
Developed by Alvin Dworman, Aaron Waxman, Shepard Forest, and others, the tower offers generously sized windows, intrusion alarms, and TV security in all units, with select residences featuring whirlpool baths and bidets. At street level, the building provides excellent retail spaces and a welcoming sitting ledge at its base—an uncommon and practical feature in the area.
This condominium project is one of the most recent towers near Central Park on the Upper East Side, rivaled only by a similarly styled limestone tower a block and a half north on Madison Avenue. Its combination of contemporary design, premium location, and rare architectural details make it a highly desirable residence.
