Overview of 315 East 72nd Street

315 East 72nd Street is a 22-story red brick co-op built in 1957 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1985. The 219-unit building features a two-story rusticated limestone base framing the entrance, which opens to a step-down lobby with sliding glass and wood doors. Located between First and Second Avenues, the building is steps from the Second Avenue Subway and offers convenient access to Central Park, the East River Promenade, and the neighborhood's restaurants and shopping.

The building stands out for its financial strength, with no underlying mortgage, no flip tax, and no maintenance increases in over eight years. Residents enjoy a newly created 3,000 square foot landscaped roof deck equipped with lounge seating, picnic tables, barbecues, and refrigeration. Additional amenities include a renovated fitness center with a Peloton bike, an outdoor patio, laundry facilities on every floor, on-site parking garage, bike storage, and private storage lockers. A 24-hour doorman and live-in superintendent provide full service.

Many apartments have undergone extensive renovations featuring custom cabinetry, wide plank oak or parquet hardwood floors, and high end appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele. Renovated units often include quartz or Corian countertops, Lutron lighting systems, custom closets, and in-unit washers and dryers. Toto toilets and washlets appear in several updated bathrooms. Apartments range from studios to three bedrooms, with many offering open city views, high ceilings, and flexible layouts that accommodate home offices and formal dining areas.

The co-op maintains flexible policies, permitting pets, pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, guarantors, and parents buying for children. Financing up to 75% is allowed, and subletting is permitted two out of every five years. The combination of strong financials, low maintenance costs, and extensive amenities makes this a particularly attractive option in the Upper East Side market.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
