The Royal York II, built in 1959 at 420 East 64th Street, forms half of an impressive twin building development in Lenox Hill designed by Greenberg & Ames. Together with its sister building at 425 East 63rd Street (built in 1956), this 494-unit complex was developed by Beloff-York Associates and converted to a condop in 1990. The 13 story pale orange brick building features discrete air conditioners and attractive sidewalk landscaping, creating a handsome mid block presence in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.
What sets The Royal York apart is its unique condop structure with condo rules, making it exceptionally investor friendly with no board interview required, unlimited subletting from day one, and no flip tax. The building offers comprehensive amenities including 24 hour doorman and concierge service, a live-in resident manager, fitness center, laundry facilities, bike storage, parking garage, and private storage. The crown jewel is the lush half acre landscaped courtyard garden shared between both towers, creating a peaceful oasis that many apartments overlook.
Apartments range from studios to three bedrooms, with many featuring flexible layouts and generous proportions. The penthouses are particularly notable, offering expansive terraces up to 50 feet long with garden and city views. Common features throughout the building include parquet wood floors, ample closet space, and in-unit washer/dryer capability with approval. Recent renovations showcase high end finishes including Sub-Zero refrigerators, Wolf appliances, and marble bathrooms, while maintaining the building's classic character.
The location provides easy access to Rockefeller University, world class hospitals, Bloomingdale's, and the newly updated East River Esplanade. Transportation is excellent with multiple subway lines nearby and convenient bus service. The building's pet friendly policy (up to 65 pounds), combined with its financial stability and flexible ownership rules, makes it attractive for primary residences, pied-à-terre use, and investment properties alike.
