The Niko is a 12 story, 82 apartment rental at 751 East 6th Street in the East Village, completed in 2018. Developed by L & M Development Partners and designed by GF55 Partners, the red brick building is divided by a narrow black pier that widens above the eighth floor. Setbacks at the upper levels and a black façade on the eastern tower further shape its profile.
The apartments range from studios through three bedroom layouts, with oversized windows, central air and open kitchens. Some apartments have private terraces, elevated ceilings, walk-in closets and in-unit laundry, while the upper floor setbacks create additional balconies and outdoor space.
A landscaped roof deck has a barbecue area, lounge seating and broad city and river views. The building also has a second floor terrace, a resident lounge with media and work areas, a fitness center with outdoor access, bicycle storage and a package room with cold storage. The lobby is attended part time, and a live-in superintendent is on staff.
The Niko occupies East 6th Street between Avenues C and D, with East River Park one block east and Tompkins Square Park several blocks west. Waterfront paths along the East River and community gardens on the surrounding blocks are among the closest neighborhood features.
