Overview of Zeckendorf Towers at 1 Irving Place

Zeckendorf Towers, completed in 1987 at 1 Irving Place, stands as a landmark development that helped transform Union Square from a troubled area into a vibrant neighborhood hub. Developed by William Zeckendorf Jr., Abraham Hirschfeld, and Irwin Ackerman, this full-block complex designed by Davis, Brody & Associates features four distinctive 29-story towers, each crowned with illuminated pyramid-shaped tops that have become a recognizable part of the downtown skyline.

The development comprises 630 condominium residences atop a seven-story base containing office and retail space. Its red brick exterior features vertical window accents, and in 2010, the building added New York City's largest residential green roof. The design prioritizes resident privacy with few apartments per floor, and many units offer park and city views, with some including private terraces.

Residents enjoy comprehensive amenities including 24-hour doorman and concierge services, a health club with a 60-foot pool, sauna, sundeck, landscaped roof gardens, and valet parking. The building features a private driveway and maintains a smoke-free environment throughout.

Its location at Union Square provides immediate access to multiple subway lines, premium grocery stores including Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, and the Union Square Greenmarket. The building sits at the crossroads of several desirable neighborhoods including Gramercy Park, the East Village, and the Flatiron District.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "massive" post-war high-rise offers "impressive" amenities including an "Olympic-sized pool," "expansive gym" and "stunning roof deck with panoramic views." The "prime Union Square location" puts residents steps from "every convenience imaginable" including "major subway lines" and popular grocers. While the "hotel-like" atmosphere may not suit everyone, the "helpful staff" and "extensive security" create a "well-managed" environment. The "spacious" units are "solid," though common areas show "expected wear" from high traffic. "Spectacular facilities" and "unbeatable location" make this a "compelling option" despite some maintenance quirks.
