Overview of Casa 74 at 255 East 74th Street

Casa 74 is a 30 story glass tower at 255 East 74th Street, completed in 2009 by World Wide Holdings Corporation under the leadership of Victor Elmaleh, a noted artist and squash player. Designed by H3 Hardy Collaborative and SLCE Architects with interiors by Coffiner Ku Design, the building houses 87 apartments and features an attractive glass and metal panel façade with angular architectural details that modulate the tower's shaft.

The building's standout feature is its direct private access to a 42,000 square foot Equinox flagship facility spanning multiple floors. Residents also enjoy a comprehensive 2,400 square foot Children's Pavilion with dedicated spaces for different age groups, including toddler rooms with climbing features, teen arcade with pinball and basketball games, and party spaces with kitchenettes. Additional amenities include 24 hour doorman and concierge services, a landscaped garden, cold storage, and bike room.

Apartments feature 10 foot ceilings (with some units on the 21st floor boasting 10' 6" ceilings), floor-to-ceiling windows, and high end finishes including Sub-Zero refrigerators, Miele appliances, and Varenna Italian cabinetry. Bathrooms are appointed with Waterworks fixtures, Toto toilets, marble surfaces, and radiant heated floors in master suites. The lower floors offer loft-like duplex units, while units above the 26th floor feature fireplaces, and three penthouses on the top floor include private terraces and access to a common roof deck.

Notable residences include the nearly 4,000 square foot apartments 21A and 21B, which feature expansive kitchens, multiple bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and panoramic city views. Corner units throughout the building offer multiple exposures and private balconies or terraces, with some featuring dramatic spaces like the 69 foot long north facing terrace in apartment 7C. The building's prime Lenox Hill location provides easy access to Madison Avenue shopping, Museum Mile, Central Park, and multiple subway lines.
