323 Park Avenue South: Review and Ratings

Review of 323 Park Avenue South by Carter Horsley

This 10-story apartment building at 323 Park Avenue South on the northeast corner at 24^th Street was erected in 2012 and designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, which also designed 240 Park Avenue South, Astor Place and 400 Fifth Avenue.

It was built by Tessler Developments LLC.

It has 17 apartments.

Bottom Line

Across the street from the great 11 Madison Avenue office building and one block east of the great Metropolitan Life tower on the southeast corner of 24^th Street and Madison Square, this modest apartment building has a central location in the very popular Flatiron District.

Description

This crisp gray building has an entrance marquee on the side-street and is convenient to Madison Square Park and the area’s many restaurants and stores.

There are many corner windows and the attractive, non-corner windows have 11-panes with four square ones on the top and bottom, an unusual and handsome configuration.

Amenities

The building has a full-time doorman and a roof deck.

Apartments

There is a full-floor penthouse with 3,100 square feet on the top floor and 16 half-floor apartments of 1,350 square feet each and 2,643-square feet of commercial space on the ground floor.

The units have wide-plank hardwood flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and marble bathrooms with heated floors.

The penthouse is a three-bedroom unit that has a very long entrance gallery and a 34-foot-long living/dining room with an open 15-foot-wide kitchen and an 8-foot-long pantry.

Apartment A on the 6^th through the 9^th floor is a two-bedroom unit with a 16-foot-long living room and an 18-foot-long dining area with an 12-foot-long open kitchen.
