The Pearl is a 22 story, 127 unit rental at 400 East 66th Street in Lenox Hill, also addressed as 1220 First Avenue. Architect James Davidson of Schuman Lichtenstein Claman & Efron gave the glass and limestone façade a strong vertical profile, using chevron profiled limestone and cast stone piers to frame its window walls. Completed in 2000, the building was developed by Laurence Ginsberg with his sisters Hilary Feshbach and Liane Ginsberg.
The residences range from studios to penthouses, with floor-to-ceiling windows, 8 foot 8 inch ceilings and individually controlled heating and air conditioning. Most apartments have city or East River views, while terraces and balconies extend from a portion of the layouts. The three penthouses include duplex configurations with living and sleeping areas on separate floors and multiple setback terraces.
The building has a 24 hour doorman, fitness center, bike room, laundry facility and resident storage, along with a live-in manager and on-site valet. Buck/Cane designed the public spaces, including the marble and hardwood lobby. Storage carries a separate charge, and small dogs are considered case by case.
The Pearl is at East 66th Street and First Avenue, one avenue west of Rockefeller University and the main Memorial Sloan Kettering campus along York Avenue. Hunter College is centered around East 68th Street and Lexington Avenue, while Central Park is four avenues west.
