Overview of The Kingsley at 400 East 70th Street

The Kingsley, located at 400 East 70th Street in Manhattan's Lenox Hill neighborhood, is a distinctive 42-story condominium tower completed in 1984. Designed by Stephen B. Jacobs & Associates and developed by Ian Bruce Eichner, the building is architecturally notable for its bold stepped form and rounded balconies, creating a rhythmically dramatic beige brick façade.

The full-service building offers comprehensive amenities including 24-hour doorman and concierge services, a live-in resident manager, and laundry facilities on every floor. The 31st floor houses a state-of-the-art fitness center with panoramic views, complemented by two outdoor terraces. Additional conveniences include a bike room, luggage storage, resident's lounge, courtyard, and a public garage with direct building access.

Positioned strategically in the Upper East Side, The Kingsley provides excellent transportation access with the Second Avenue subway (Q train) just one block away, plus proximity to the 6 and F trains. The location offers convenient access to numerous retail options including Morton Williams, Trader Joe's, and Madison Avenue shopping, as well as various dining establishments and medical facilities.

The building maintains a strict no-pets policy and currently has an assessment in place through April 2026.

Carter’s Review

"This 42-story condominium apartment tower is boldly sculpted with a stepped form and rounded balconies.

It was one of several major new high-rise towers to follow in the wake of Sotheby's move from Madison Avenue to a warehouse building on York Avenue and 72nd Street. Located on First Avenue, this tower actually is closer to more neighborhood shopping and amenities than those closer to the auction house."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "well-situated" UES condo offers "convenience at every corner" with its "prime location" just blocks from Central Park and multiple subway lines. The "full-service" building features 24-hour doorman and balconies, while the surrounding area is a "shopper's paradise" with "everything within two blocks" from groceries to dining. The "strategic location" provides "easy access" to both midtown and the FDR, making it an "exceptionally practical" choice for city living.
