The Rio is a distinctive 40 story condominium tower built in 1986 on East 65th Street, designed by Gruzen Samton as one of New York's notable "sliver" buildings. With 150 units, the building stands out architecturally with its curved balconies on the upper floors and varying balcony styles throughout, creating an unconventional but dynamic form that breaks from typical residential tower design.
Apartments at The Rio are characterized by floor-to-ceiling windows and many feature wrap around balconies or terraces that provide sweeping views of the East River, Central Park, and city skyline.
The building offers comprehensive amenities including a 24 hour doorman, uniformed staff, live-in superintendent, and an extensive health club with swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and spa services. The landscaped rooftop deck provides 360 degree panoramic views, while additional conveniences include on-site laundry, storage, and a landscaped garden. Located in prime Lenox Hill, residents enjoy proximity to Bloomingdale's, Madison Avenue boutiques, fine dining, and multiple subway lines, though the building sits near the bustling Queensborough Bridge corridor.
