Overview of Carnegie Hill Place at 1500 Lexington Avenue

Carnegie Hill Place is a prominent rental complex located at 1500 Lexington Avenue, on the southwest corner of 97th Street in East Harlem. Developed by the Kenbar Group, led by Cornelius E. Sigety and Kinne S. Yon, this 22-story building was completed in 2002. It is part of a three-building complex, including 1501 and 1510 Lexington Avenue. The building's design by Schuman Lichtenstein Claman & Efron features broad, grooved piers and corner windows, with 17,500 square feet of retail space. Notably, it utilized unused development rights from the nearby St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church to exceed zoning height limits.

Carnegie Hill Place offers a range of amenities, including a 24-hour concierge, doorman, live-in superintendent, gym, roof garden, bicycle room, valet parking, residents' lounge, and laundry facilities. The building is conveniently located near a subway station and cross-town bus service, providing easy access to Central Park and various local amenities such as grocery stores and cafes.

The apartments in Carnegie Hill Place are designed with modern conveniences, featuring granite countertops, halogen lighting, and General Electric appliances in the kitchens. Bathrooms are equipped with tri-view medicine cabinets, and some units offer terraces. Notable layouts include a two-bedroom unit with a large terrace and a studio with floor-to-ceiling corner windows.

Historically, the Sigety family has been involved in the development of the area since the 1970s, initially focusing on nursing homes. The transition to residential development was marked by rezoning efforts in the 1990s, despite some local opposition. The building's history is intertwined with the family's legacy in real estate and healthcare, including the operation of the Florence Nightingale Health Center.
