Overview of 205 East 59th Street

205 East 59th Street is a distinctive 27 story condominium tower completed in 2004 on the former site of the historic Coronet and Baronet movie theaters. Developed by The Zucker Company and designed by architect Richard Dattner, this 62 unit building features an unusual L-shaped design with curved façades and salmon colored brick exterior. The building sits prominently at the corner of Third Avenue and 59th Street, directly across from Bloomingdale's, with retail occupying the first two floors and a fitness center on the third.

The building's most striking feature is its soaring ceiling heights, with apartments on odd numbered floors boasting 20 foot 8 inch ceilings that create dramatic double height living spaces. Apartments include remote controlled gas burning fireplaces, at least one private balcony, and state of the art Viking and Sub-Zero appliances. Some apartments feature solariums, and many units showcase wide plank teak flooring and floor to ceiling windows that maximize natural light and city views, including vistas of the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge.

With only three apartments per floor, the building offers an intimate, exclusive living experience enhanced by white glove service including 24 hour doorman and concierge. Residents enjoy access to a full floor fitness center, a unique covered "puppy park" for dogs, and a landscaped garden terrace with Asian themed design elements. The building's dramatic entrance features a cascading waterfall with bamboo trees, while the lobby showcases golden granite floors and back lit white onyx ceiling panels.

The building has attracted notable residents including NHL defenseman Darius Kasparaitis. Its prime Lenox Hill location provides easy access world class shopping along Madison Avenue and 57th Street, excellent transportation options, fine dining establishments and cultural attractions.

Broker & Buyer Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "minimalist cool" full-service residence offers "frenetic midtown energy" with a "much appreciated" tree-lined setback entrance. The building boasts "zen" outdoor spaces with waterfall features, while a well-equipped gym and dedicated puppy park round out the amenities. Supremely located at "shopping mecca" 59th and Third with "multiple subway lines" at your doorstep. The "full-service" staff includes doorman and concierge, though some note a "pool would have been nice."
