Overview of Tower East at 190 East 72nd Street

Tower East, designed by Richard Roth Jr. of the renowned architectural firm Emery Roth & Sons, is a notable example of modern high-rise design. The building features a freestanding tower set back from its base, providing more light and air to its surroundings. This design was a departure from traditional high-rise apartment buildings and has influenced many subsequent developments in New York City.

This full-service luxury cooperative offers a wide range of amenities, including a 24 hour doorman, health club, garage with valet, bike room, private storage, laundry room, playroom, and rooftop lounge. The building is pet-friendly and permits in-unit washer/dryers, co-purchasing, and pied-à-terres, making it a versatile choice for various lifestyles.

Apartments in Tower East are known for their spacious layouts, often featuring L-shaped living rooms with two exposures, entrance galleries, and maid's rooms that double as dens. Many units have been renovated with modern finishes, including gourmet kitchens equipped with high-end appliances and spa-inspired bathrooms, offering residents a blend of comfort and style.

Located at 190 East 72nd Street, Tower East is ideally situated in the heart of the Upper East Side. It is just blocks away from Central Park, the Park Avenue Armory, top schools, and popular dining and shopping destinations. The building is conveniently accessible via the 68th Street 6 and 72nd Street N/Q trains, providing easy connectivity to the rest of the city.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
