Developer Closer Properties is planning a 27-story luxury condominium for the corner of East 79th Street and Lexington Avenue, and now seeks permission from the Department of City Planning to transfer about 25,000 square feet of air rights from nearby landmarked properties to bring the project up to 136,000 square feet. Details about the condos and amenities are not yet known, but the new building will replace six vacant low-rise buildings on the site.
Developer Closer Properties is set to buy approximately 6,300 square feet of air rights from 116 East 80th Street, a Federal-style house dating back to 1923, for the construction of a condominium at 150 East 79th Street. The landmarked house was built for a descendant of Lewis Morris III, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and the air rights transfer will allow the owner to implement a maintenance program for the property. Local preservationists and Manhattan's Community Board 8 were opposed to the air rights transfer, but Landmarks allowed it on the condition that the upfront maintenance work include cleaning the facade and painting the window trim.
In October 2025, developer Closer Properties paid $63 million for five low-rise Upper East Side buildings at 150-154 East 79th Street, 1131 Lexington Avenue, and 1135 Lexington Avenue in preparation to build a condo on the site. Demolition is expected to begin in early 2026, and the project will include retail space on the ground floor.
