Upper East Side Luxury Condos

170 East End Avenue is a prestigious 19-story luxury condominium overlooking Carl Schurz Park and the East River in Manhattan's Yorkville neighborhood. Completed in 2008 and designed by renowned architect Peter Marino, the building features two stone and glass structures connected by a glass sheath, with 110 residences offering sophisticated layouts and high-end finishes.

The building is distinguished by its striking architectural design, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, multiple balconies, and a central landscaped garden with a waterfall. Residences range from studios to expansive penthouses, many offering spectacular views of the East River, Carl Schurz Park, and Gracie Mansion.

Residents enjoy access to over 12,000 square feet of amenities, including 24-hour doorman and concierge service, state-of-the-art fitness facilities with a squash court and golf simulator, a 40-seat screening room, children's playroom and art studio, and an on-site parking garage. The building's location provides easy access to the East River Esplanade and various transportation options including the NYC Ferry.

Trump Palace at 200 East 69th Street stands as one of the the tallest residential buildings on the Upper East Side, rising 634 feet across 56 stories in the heart of Lenox Hill. Designed by Frank Williams & Associates and completed in 1991, this distinctive brick tower features a crenellated Art Deco inspired crown that has become an unofficial landmark on the Upper East Side skyline. The building's yellowish-orange brick façade and complex architectural form marked a significant departure from typical Trump developments of the era, representing a more sophisticated approach to high rise design. The tower replaced the New York Foundling Hospital and was built as-of-right, though Trump's request for a five screen movie theater was denied.

The building houses 283 apartments distributed across the main tower and two smaller attached structures of eight and nine stories. This configuration provides residents with considerable exclusivity, as the top several floors contain only one unit each. Many apartments feature protected views of Central Park, the East River, or city skylines, with some offering private terraces or balconies. Common apartment features include floor-to-ceiling windows, marble bathrooms, hardwood floors, and in-unit washers and dryers. Higher floor units, particularly corner apartments and penthouses, command premium prices for their panoramic 360 degree views stretching from Central Park to the Hudson and East Rivers.

Trump Palace operates as a white glove, full service condominium with 24 hour doorman and concierge services, an attended parking garage with direct building access, a state-of-the-art fitness center, landscaped courtyard garden, children's playground, and bike storage. Notable residents have included Steve Madden, the shoe designer and founder of Steve Madden Shoes. Located just blocks from the 6 and Q train lines, the building offers prime access to Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping, Museum Mile, and the broader Upper East Side.

Completed in 1987, this modern 28-story limestone-clad tower is a distinctive addition to the Upper East Side, offering a clean and contemporary aesthetic just one block from Central Park. Designed by Leibman Leibman Associates, P.C., the building stands out with its striking slanted roofline, reminiscent of the iconic Citicorp Center, angled toward Central Park to maximize views.

A hallmark of its design is the limestone façade, a thoughtful nod to pre-war elegance while embracing modern architectural sensibilities. Its unique features include several rare double-height units facing a charming sidestreet, which adds a sense of openness and sophistication uncommon in the neighborhood. These double-height "studio" spaces highlight the building's innovative approach to Upper East Side living.

Developed by Alvin Dworman, Aaron Waxman, Shepard Forest, and others, the tower offers generously sized windows, intrusion alarms, and TV security in all units, with select residences featuring whirlpool baths and bidets.
