Overview of Crossing 23rd at 121 East 23rd Street

Crossing 23rd is a 22 story condominium at 121 East 23rd Street that stands out in the Gramercy-Flatiron corridor with its distinctive asymmetrical façade and light-red brick construction. Built in 2005 by Chay & Chay LLC and designed by H. Thomas O'Hara, the building houses 95 large apartments with interiors by Andres Escobar. The architectural design features a two-story stone base, numerous bay windows along the center façade, and balconies concentrated on the east side, with the upper third of the building displaying a different window pattern than the lower floors.

The apartments feature Brazilian cherry flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and granite countertops with cherry wood cabinetry in the kitchens. Many units include in-unit washers and dryers, and several boast private balconies or terraces with city views. The crown jewel is Penthouse D, a duplex spanning the 20th and 21st floors with a private rooftop terrace offering panoramic Manhattan skyline views including the Chrysler Building, One Vanderbilt, and Flatiron Building. The penthouse features separate elevator access to both levels and sweeping north and west exposures.

The building provides full service amenities including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, fitness center, resident lounge with landscaped terrace, bicycle room, and central laundry facilities. The location proves particularly attractive for its proximity to Madison Square Park, Eataly, and multiple subway lines (6, N, R, F, M trains), making it highly accessible throughout Manhattan. The building allows pets, pied-a-terres, and subletting, adding to its appeal for both investors and residents.

Situated in the evolving Gramercy-Flatiron area, Crossing 23rd benefits from the neighborhood's ongoing transformation with new luxury developments and improved retail offerings. The building sits within walking distance of renowned dining establishments and shopping, while the nearby transportation hub provides seamless connectivity to the rest of the city.
