Marketing is expected to start soon for the conversion of the rental apartment building at 212 East 47th Street to condominium apartments.
The 34-story building, which has four floors of offices, was erected in 1979 with 261 rental apartments.
It is being converted by 211 East 46th Street Owners LLC, in care of Extell Development Corporaton.
The beige-brick, mid-block tower, which is known as L'Ecole, has a canopied entrance and a dark glass greenhouse entrance with a doorman and a concierge service.
It has lush, spiked sidewalk landscaping, many balconies, a garage, a roof deck, a health club and is close to the Vanderbilt YMCA. Its entrance also has a curved ramp.
In the conversion, buyers will be offered three different finish schemes for the kitchens and baths and La Palestra is designing the gym.
The building now has a media lounge, a revolving front door and consistent fenestration.
There is good cross-town bus service a couple of blocks to the north and Grand Central Terminal is a couple of blocks to the west and the United Nations complex is a couple of blocks to the east.
