For many years, the Upper East Side was largely dominated by prewar cooperatives that set relatively unchallenged standards for elegance in New York City as a whole. However, thanks in large part to the long-awaited Second Avenue subway, the area has seen a surge in new condominiums that combine heretofore unseen heights with Old World design influences. They offer spacious and sumptuous apartments, an abundance of luxurious amenities and services, and better connection to the rest of the city than ever before.
However, there is much to enjoy close to home. The Frick Collection reopened this year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art recently finished an overhaul of the Michael C. Rockefeller Wing, and there is an incredible cultural scene between Museum Mile, Park Avenue Armory, and independent galleries. The Upper East Side also offers convenient access to the green space of Central Park and Carl Schurz Park, not to mention many acclaimed restaurants, designer retail stores, gourmet supermarkets, and well-known schools.
In this article:
Luxury buyers are flocking to these apartments. Forthcoming projects at 200 East 75th Street and 255 East 77th Street ranked among New York City's 20 best-selling buildings of 2025 to date. These buildings and other nearby new developments regularly rank among Manhattan's top contracts, and CityRealty data shows that Upper East Side condos come to an average price of $1,573 per square foot, up slightly year-over-year. Below, we look at newly announced projects and recently completed buildings ready to welcome residents.

The forthcoming boutique condominium at 420 East 75th Street was originally conceived as an addition to a carriage house, but a new building rose on the site instead. It takes its place near John Jay Park, prominent New York City hospitals, popular restaurants lining First Avenue, and the 72nd Street Q train. All full-floor units feature direct elevator entrance, oversized windows, gliding pocket doors, in-unit laundry, private balconies, and primary suites with spacious dressing rooms and luxurious en suite baths. Kitchens come outfitted with large center islands, Calcatta Caldia marble countertops, professional-grade appliances, and walk-in pantries with built-in storage and trash chute.
Amenities include virtual doorman service, a library and double-height lounge, a fitness room, traditional and infrared saunas, a pet spa, bike storage, a south-facing private garden, and a roof terrace with barbecue grills and open city views. Climate-controlled accessory rooms prime for customization are available for purchase

Down the street from 150 East 78th Street, another EJS project is on the rise at the corner of East 75th Street. The site was formerly occupied by low-rise buildings housing local favorites Candle Cafe and Bistro Le Steak. There will be no more than three units per floor with five full-floor penthouse residences on the upper levels. Amenities are set to include a lounge, a dining room, a fitness center with yoga studio, a library, a cellar-level children’s playroom, and a rooftop terrace. Completion is estimated for later this year, but the building has already attracted the attention of New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor.

Plans for a new project on the corner of Third Avenue and East 61st Street date back to 2022, when Kahen Properties bought up an assemblage from 1020 to 1026 Third Avenue for $34 million, but did not develop anything right away, possibly in the hopes of a 421a replacement. This did not come to pass, but more details on the new building dubbed The Remi have become available: The building will feature 81 residential units, ground-floor retail space, and amenities like a fitness center, a sports court, a coworking lounge, a media lounge with dining room and terrace access, and a rooftop terrace with BBQ grill. A rent-stabilized lottery took place earlier this spring, and market-rate leasing is on the horizon.

The Strathmore (Corcoran Group)
When The Strathmore was under construction as a rental in the 1990s, New York City passed new zoning laws that prohibited such tall, slender buildings from rising in this section of the Upper East Side. The development was grandfathered in, and its soaring height allows for unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline and the East River. Amidst its conversion to for-sale units, the interiors are being reimagined by Ingrao Inc. Amenities like a fitness center, indoor lap pool, squash/sports court, lounge, and private dining room with catering kitchen are also being enhanced and restored.

At the southwest corner of East 88th Street and Second Avenue, Alchemy Properties has started construction on a 24-story building featuring 45 residences. Condos would not be unexpected, but an offering plan has not been filed yet, if at all.
Hill West are the architects listed on permits and a posted rendering at the job site portrays a tiered tower with a pale gray façade and oversized picture windows. Amenities are set to include a fitness center, a sports court, a coworking lounge, a game room, a children's playroom, and a roof terrace. Construction topped out in May 2025.

Fresh off their success at 200 East 83rd Street (see below), Naftali Group and Robert A.M. Stern Architects reunited further down Second Avenue on a new condominium at 255 East 77th Street. Construction is underway, and the project will ultimately yield 62 units with no more than four per floor.
All interiors are set to feature oversized windows, eat-in kitchens with honed Calacatta marble countertops and high-end appliances, luxe primary baths with rain showers, and generous sroage space throughout. Amenities are set to include a fitness center, pool, library, music room, children's playroom, lounge, and roof deck. It will also include a porte-cochere and automated parking system, but the 72nd Street Q train is only five blocks south. Completion is estimated for next year, and listings in the building regularly rank among Manhattan's top contracts.

Completion estimated for 2026
Construction is underway on a 20-story condominium on the corner of Second Avenue and East 72nd Street. It has been a long time coming: In 2015, the same year the church previously on the site closed due to declining patronage, developer Chetrit Group bought a corner lot that was part of the project’s assemblage from SL Green from $47.3 million. The church was deconsecrated in 2017 and demolished in early 2020, but the pandemic-induced lockdown on non-essential construction put the project on a long pause.

Work on 242 East 71st Street, a new Lenox Hill rental, is in extremely early stages: The developer closed on the assemblage in February 2025, and demolition permits were filed at the beginning of July 2025. Renderings and amenities are not yet available, but residents will benefit from easy access to Central Park, the recently reopened Frick Collection, Park Avenue Armory, Hunter College, popular Upper East Side dining and retail, and the 77th Street-Hunter College 6 train

In late June 2025, demolition was winding down on 1655 First Avenue. This clears the way for a pair of 23-story buildings with a cascading series of setbacks to rise on the site. Details are not yet available about the amenities, but the setbacks will allow for private terraces in select units and renderings show a landscaped roof deck.

On the corner of East 86th Street and Third Avenue, a high-rise condominium is rising on the former site of Papaya King, which Anthony Bourdain said sold the city's best hot dogs. However, the building was demolished in 2023 following its $21 million sale to the developer. Renderings of its replacement depict a tower with a light-colored gridded facade, oversized windows, and deep loggias along the east and west elevations.
Amenities are not yet available, but residents will be in close proximity to 92NY, Museum Mile, Carl Schurz Park, and the 86th Street Q and 4/5/6 trains. While hot dogs are no longer an option, residents will have easy access to popular Upper East Side restaurants as well as Whole Foods and Citarella.

Between East 83rd and 84th Streets, a two-story commercial building is set to give way to a 15-story boutique condominium -- our best guess for the project, given the extremely spacious average apartment size of 2,677 square feet. East Side Feed notes that this represents the developer's first foray into the Upper East Side. Details are not available about amenities, but future residents will be in close proximity to Central Park, Carl Schurz Park, Museum Mile, and the 86th Street Q and 4/5/6 trains.

In summer 2023, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved Spitzer Enterprises’ application to demolish a postwar rental at 985 Fifth Avenue and replace it with a new 19-story, 26-unit condominium with a graceful limestone facade and setbacks reminiscent of prewar Upper East Side architecture.
A Landmarks presentation mentioned amenities like a package room, library, game room, lounge, and private garden. However, the greatest perk of all may be its Upper East Side address down the street from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum Mile. It will also be situated near Central Park and Madison Avenue designer flagships. Demolition permits for the previous building were filed in January 2024.

In December 2023, demolition permits were filed for a trio of vacant low-rise properties at 22-26 East 84th Street. An 18-story condominium is set to rise in their place as well as at adjacent site 1122 Madison Avenue. The site is up the street from 109 East 79th Street, another of the developer’s projects.
By virtue of the building's height and address, residents can expect beautiful views of Central Park. The building will be designed inside and out by Studio Sofield, whose portfolio includes 111 West 57th Street and Beckford House and Tower. Many of the 26 units will have private terraces or balconies, and prices will begin at $10 million. Details on amenities are not yet available, but one wonderful perk is close proximity to Central Park and Museum Mile.

In late 2024, permits were filed for a new boutique building to rise on the former site of the Church of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, which dated back to the 1860s. The church relocated due to low attendance in 2015, and preliminary renderings for the new building depict a modern yet tasteful building with a pale facade, oversized windows, and private balconies. Apartments will feature interiors by Paris Forino.

At the beginning of March 2024, Douglas Development filed permits for a new tower on a block-long site up the street from 200 East 83rd Street set to include such amenities as a pool, yoga studio, and bike room. Crain's New York Business notes that the block-long site is currently home to a 90-unit rental building with some rent-regulated tenants; under the plan provided, the developer would build the new tower on the vacant south side of the site but retain the north side, which is home to the rent-regulated tenants. Demolition work on the south half began in spring 2024, and the building is now on the rise.

In September 2024, developer Alchemy-ABR Properties paid $33.7 million for two adjacent buildings at 1482-1486 First Avenue, located between East 77th and 78th Streets. The sale included air rights from two neighboring properties, which will allow the developer to erect a larger and taller building than would typically be allowed. Indeed, recent filings show that the proposed building will stand 336 feet tall and include 86 residential units on top of ground-floor retail space (h/t Crain's New York Business).

625 Madison Avenue (Related Companies)
On the border of Midtown East and the Upper East Side, Related Companies is planning a massive transformation of its former headquarters on the southeast corner of East 59th Street and Madison Avenue. The project will include retail spaces, a hotel, and high-end condos on the uppermost levels, the better to make the most of 360-degree views of Central Park and the Midtown skyline. However, an office component has also been floated.
Related Companies purchased the property from SL Green for $632.5 million in May 2024. More recently, in July 2025, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced plans to take a two-thirds stake in the project. The PIF has already invested approximately $200 million into the project.

Zoning diagram for 655 Madison Avenue (Extell Development)
In late 2024, Extell Development filed permits for a 37-story mixed-use tower on the corner of Madison Avenue and East 60th Street with 62 condos on top. But in July 2025, the developer submitted a rezoning application that would allow them to build a 74-story, 1,162-foot-tall tower instead. The developer hopes to increase the size of the project by transferring as many as 135,000 square feet of development rights from the nearby Metropolitan Club, and proposes to make improvements to the Fifth Avenue/59th Street N/R/W subway station in exchange for approximately 130,000 square feet of additional space. New zoning diagrams were unveiled a short time later.
As of this writing, demolition work is underway on the project's four-building assemblage. These include the former location of local favorite Il Mulino, which has since relocated a few blocks south and rebranded as Il Mulino New York - Madison. Luxury brand Chanel is eyeing a purchase of the retail space in the new building.

In September 2022, The Chapman Group filed permits for a 484-foot-tall, 500-unit rental building to take shape on the former site of parking garages and a vacant, five-story residential building. In compliance with the city’s Mandatory Inclusionary Housing law, the developer intends to set aside 25 percent of units for households earning an average of 60 percent of the Area Median Income. The Real Deal notes that between required zoning changes and area officials’ opposition to high-rises shorter than this planned building, it faces an uphill challenge.

If everything goes according to plan, this 760-foot-tall new development on the cusp of the Upper East Side and East Harlem will be the tallest building north of 60th Street. Roughly 30 percent of the apartments (or over 300 units) are to be permanently affordable, and the project will also bring two new schools and a new public park to the area. However, the Marx Brothers Playground sits at the center of the site, and some advocates argue that it is not a playground for the nearby school, but a city park; if it is the latter, any plans for the land may not go through without approval from the State Legislature and governor.

At one time, this 30-story tower near the corner of First Avenue and East 79th Street was thought to bring housing and a new school to the nexus of Lenox Hill and Yorkville. However, it will be entirely medical offices. The Hospital for Special Surgery has signed on as the anchor tenant and will occupy 200,000 square feet across the lower eight floors, and the upper levels will be occupied by offices of the Department of Health and medical offices providing ambulatory care and surgical facilities. Oversized windows are evident in the renderings, and it will be underpinned by enhanced ventilation and air filtration. Construction is winding down.

Completion estimated for 2025
As part of a $300 million modernization of the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) campus, a new 12-story tower is on the rise next to the main hospital. The buildings will be connected by a third-story skybridge.
The new tower is set to expand care for joint replacement and spine conditions with three private inpatient floors, new physicians’ offices and exam rooms, and on-site imaging. The plan for the tower also includes critically needed improvements to the nearby East River Esplanade from East 72nd to 78th Streets, building on a 2018 investment to renovate the Esplanade from East 70th to 72nd Streets.
Construction is underway, and the tower is taking shape with the help of a lead gift from the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation, and will be named the Kellen Tower in their honor. When the expansion was announced in spring 2021, foundation vice president and the Kellens’ daughter Marina Kellen French said in a statement to the New York Post, “It’s not just about bricks and mortar, but about people and New York City.”

In fall 2023, Weill Cornell Hospital announced their largest expansion ever, to take place over five floors of the former Sotheby’s auction house headquarters at 1334 York Avenue. A few months later, work began on a new 16-story, 272-bed student residence hall a few blocks away at East 74th Street and York Avenue.
The project pursued LEED Gold certification with features like all-electric HVAC technology, water-conserving fixtures, and energy-efficient lighting. Amenities include study nooks, a fitness center with yoga room, a music room, a student lounge with garden access, and a rooftop lounge with adjoining terrace. The building officially opened in May 2025.

The cornerstone of the 200,000-square-foot facility will be specialized cancer care services, and it will also offer neuroscience programs, imaging and lab testing, cardiac care with a dedicate women's heart center, a sleep study center, acute and chronic disease management, social work services, and more.
Work on the project began in late 2022, when the buildings previously on the site were demolished, and completion is estimated for spring 2026. A recent site visit saw the glass curtain wall beginning to rise on the building.

In the wake of the Covid pandemic, New York City's life science industry is going stronger than ever. A key component of that is the expansion of the New York Blood Center ("the Blood Center") on the Upper East Side. The project calls for demolishing the Blood Center's three-story brick headquarters and replacing it with a gleaming, 16-story tower to be dubbed Center East. The Blood Center will be the anchor tenant on the first five floors, where it will continue its work of providing blood products to New York hospitals and developing treatments and vaccines for ailments like HIV and sickle-cell disease. The rest of the building will be leased to life science companies.
The expansion had the support of the de Blasio administration and then-Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, but former Council Member Ben Kallos and the condominium next door strongly objected to the height of the tower. The required rezoning was ultimately approved in November 2021; and in August 2022, a judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the condo board, saying there was no basis for their complaint of illegal rezoning and that the expanded center would be of great benefit to the community. However, Crain's New York Business reported in June 2025 that the project is at a standstill.

In spring 2023, Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) filed plans for a new 600-foot-tall, 31-story cancer care center with 202 inpatient beds, 28 operating/procedure suites, LEED-certified infrastructure, and a skybridge across East 67th Street to connect it to the main hospital. MSK said in a statement that the new project will allow them to provide complex care to patients from all over New York and the world, but some locals were not impressed.
In March 2025, MSK announced that the cancer care pavilion would be named in honor of hedge fund billionaire Kenneth C. Griffin, who made a landmark gift in 2023. Demolition work for the building began in late 2024.

An expansion of Lenox Hill Hospital, an Upper East Side mainstay since 1857, has long been discussed, and firm details came out in 2019: The first plans called for larger service departments, more beds to be arranged in single-patient rooms, more operating rooms, shared community space, and a dedicated "mother-baby" wing to accommodate growing families. A 41-story condominium was also planned to rise on the hospital's property so as to offset the building costs. Manhattan's Community Board 8, however, expressed concerns about the scale and density of the project, and accused the hospital of prioritizing medical tourism over affordable healthcare.
In May 2025, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine conditionally endorsed a plan to overhaul the hospital by consolidating its ten buildings into a 436-foot-tall tower. As of this writing, it is in the middle of a formal review process before the City Planning Commission. Locals remain unhappy about the project.

520 Park Avenue's towering height is in line with today's luxury buildings, but the design by Robert A.M. Stern Architects pays respectful tribute to its prewar neighbors. All full-floor and duplex units feature soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, custom kitchens by Christopher Peacock, and ultra-private primary suites with generous closet space and luxurious en suite baths. Residential amenities include full-time doorman and concierge service, a fully equipped fitness center, a double-height indoor pool, a club room, and a salon with access to a landscaped garden.
As of this writing, 520 Park Avenue is the tallest residential building in its Upper East Side Gold Coast neighborhood. However, forthcoming projects at 625 Madison Avenue and 655 Madison Avenue (see above) could threaten the Central Park views residents hold dear.

When plans for a new condominium at 249 East 62nd Street were first announced, they came with renderings of an octagonal tower with a hollow core designed by Rafael Viñoly. Some locals came out against the "building on stilts," but the project was ultimately scrapped due to fire safety concerns and the closing of the mechanical void loophole that would have allowed for the spectacular height.
The building that ultimately rose drew on Art Deco influences to pay respectful tribute to the nearby Treadwell Farms Historic District. Select units have private terraces, and all one- through three-bedroom units feature oversized windows, high ceilings, European white oak flooring, intuitive floor plans, chef's kitchens, and spa-like primary baths. Residents receive complimentary one-year memberships to concierge medicine group Sollis Health and hospitality group Omacasa, and building amenities include an attended lobby, fitness center, sauna and steam room, children's playroom, Club Lounge, and courtyard garden. The building is now nearly 90% sold and open for immediate occupancy.

As striking as the terraced brick and limestone facade by Cookfox is, it's what's on the inside that generated the most excitement at 760 Madison Avenue: Not only is a new Giorgio Armani flagship boutique housed at the base, but the apartments on top feature interiors by Armani/Casa. The Landmarks Preservation Commission approved the project in May 2019, and demolition permits for the old building were filed about a year later. More recently, the developer announced that the building had sold out in July 2024.
Mr. Armani has announced plans to live in the building and designed the interiors of the residences, which feature high ceilings, oversized windows, custom chef’s kitchens with Gaggenau appliances, and a rich palette of materials. There will be private terraces in the majority of the units, and amenities are set to include a state-of-the-art fitness center, an on-site spa treatment room, a Zen tea room with service from Armani Ristorante, and a library and lounge with custom Armani Casa furniture.

There are independent living, assisted living, and memory care units, and the building houses a treatment center, fitness room, beauty salon, and dining space on the 14th floor. Additionally, its location two avenues away from the recently refurbished 86th Street subway station grants residents easy access to the city's finest restaurants and cultural offerings.

While Inspir Carnegie Hill was still under construction, the developer was already fielding calls from people expressing interest in the company's first urban development. Small wonder -- it's in an excellent urban location, the residences are designed to maximize natural light, and the project offers enough amenities to put a hip rental to shame. These include a farm-to-table restaurant, 16th-story "sky park," pool, fitness center, salon and spa, library, screening room, and art room.
