Overview of The Belaire at 524 East 72nd Street

The Belaire, located at 524 East 72nd Street, is a 50-story luxury condominium situated on a quiet cul-de-sac off York Avenue in the Upper East Side. Designed by Frank Williams and Associates and completed in 1988, the building features a striking red-brick façade with terraced setbacks at its asymmetrical top. Originally comprising 180 units, it now houses 147 residences, offering impressive views of the East River and surrounding skyline.

The Belaire provides full-service amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in building manager, and on-site valet. Residents enjoy access to a fitness center with a yoga studio, sauna, steam rooms, and a 60-foot heated pool with a skylight. Additional conveniences include a meeting room, children’s playroom, storage, and a parking garage.

Located near the Hospital for Special Surgery and just two blocks from the 72nd Street Q subway station, the Belaire offers convenient transportation options, including bus lines and Citi Bike stations. While slightly removed from nearby parks and boutiques, the building’s cul-de-sac location ensures a peaceful residential atmosphere.
