Overview of The Knickerbocker at 308 East 72nd Street

The Knickerbocker is a 21-story, red-brick condominium building located in the Upper East Side of New York City. Built in 1996, it features 75 apartments and was developed by Parker East 72nd St. Assoc. LP, with Adam Glick as a principal. The architectural firm behind the building is Schuman Lichtenstein Claman & Efron. The building's design includes a three-story limestone base with rusticated keystones and a setback terrace. The entrance is marked by a revolving door beneath a large marquee, leading to a double-height lobby adorned with beveled glass and a chandelier.

The Knickerbocker offers a range of amenities that enhance the living experience. Residents enjoy a white-glove, full-service environment with a concierge and doorman. The building features a wood-paneled library/lounge that serves complimentary breakfast and afternoon tea, and it can be reserved for private functions. A beautifully landscaped patio adjoins the library, providing a serene outdoor space. Additional amenities include a state-of-the-art gym and a children's playroom, making it a family-friendly residence.

Apartments in The Knickerbocker are known for their spacious layouts and high-end finishes. Common features include high ceilings, large picture windows, Brazilian walnut floors, and individually controlled heating and air conditioning. Many units have been renovated to include modern kitchens with top-of-the-line appliances and custom cabinetry. Some apartments, particularly those on higher floors, offer expansive views and private terraces, adding to their appeal.

The building's location is highly convenient, situated near numerous restaurants, shops, and cultural institutions. While the nearest subway station is a few blocks away, the recent addition of the Q line at the corner has improved accessibility. The Knickerbocker's proximity to Sotheby's auction house and other Upper East Side attractions makes it a desirable address for those seeking a blend of luxury and convenience.
