The Laurel is a striking 31 story LEED-certified condominium tower at 400 East 67th Street, completed in 2008 and designed by architect Costas Kondylis. Developed by Alexico Management, the same team behind notable projects like 165 Charles Street by Richard Meier, this glass and limestone clad building sits on the southeast corner of First Avenue, directly across from the expansive St. Catherine's Park. The tower offers residences ranging from studios to four bedrooms, all featuring solid oak wood flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and ceilings between 9 and 12 feet.
Apartments at The Laurel showcase consistently high end finishes and thoughtful layouts. Most units feature long entrance galleries leading past enclosed kitchens to generous living spaces, with many corner units offering particularly dramatic proportions. The state-of-the-art Poggenpohl kitchens come equipped with premium Gaggenau appliances, Sub-Zero refrigerators and wine coolers, while bathrooms are clad in white marble with radiant heated floors, soaking tubs, and separate glass showers. Notable units include the C line apartments on floors 15 through 24 with 25 foot long living rooms, and apartment 15C which features a 26 foot long private terrace. All residences include in-unit Bosch washer/dryers and central HVAC systems.
The building's amenities span an impressive 12,000 square feet across multiple levels, recently renovated to enhance the resident experience. The Trophy Club serves as a comprehensive fitness destination with a 50 foot lap pool, resistance pools, steam room, sauna, and specialized triathlon training equipment including Woodway treadmills and Cycleops Pro indoor cycles. The bi-level Laurel Club provides entertainment and social spaces with a screening room, dining room with catering kitchen, children's play areas, game room, and an atrium lounge with various seating areas and a wine tasting bar.
Located in a prime Upper East Side position, The Laurel benefits from its proximity to Rockefeller University, New York Presbyterian Hospital, and numerous cultural institutions. The building sits near the handsome St. John Nepomucine Roman Catholic Church, designed by John Van Pelt in 1925 in what architectural guides describe as a "wonderfully romantic paen to the Romanesque style." While subway access requires a short walk, the location offers excellent bus service and easy access to the FDR Drive, plus the neighborhood's renowned dining and shopping options.
The Laurel operates as a full service, pet friendly building with 24 hour doorman and concierge services, plus on-site parking and storage options. The building maintains a 421-a tax abatement and has been recognized for its environmental sustainability as a LEED-certified development. Current residents benefit from the building's four pipe fan coil system for year round climate control, and the white glove service includes a live-in resident manager. The site's history adds character, having previously been occupied by the Bethany Memorial Church, built in 1910 and designed by Nelson & Van Wagenen.
