The 13-story condominium apartment building at 242 East 25th Street has been topped out.
The handsome but simple design by architect Stephen B. Jacobs uses an omega-lite metal panel facade that is quite elegant and the building has subtle design touches such as slightly angled large lobby windows on the ground floor and thin accent lines near the top of the building, which has a couple of setbacks.
The mid-block building has been developed by Arthur Leeds & Associates and will have 54 apartments.
The building is between Third and Second Avenues and very close to Second Avenue. It has discrete air-conditioners but no garage and sidewalk landscaping. This area is convenient to Gramercy Park, the Flatiron District and Midtown South and to Baruch College. There is good public transportation not too far away on 23rd Street.
