While soaring skyscrapers and architecturally creative buildings have captured considerable attention, it is worth noting that new developments inspired by prewar architecture - including, but not limited to, 220 Central Park South on Billionaires’ Row, 15 Central Park West, and The Benson and The Bellemont in Carnegie Hill - have regularly ranked among New York’s best-selling developments and highest-priced sales.
Further downtown, The Edison Gramercy, developed by Urban Development Partners and designed by Issac & Stern brings a traditional design to 359 Second Avenue with a limestone facade, French windows and doors, a mansard roof line, Juliet balconies, and oversized gridded windows. If early numbers are anything to go on, it is putting on as strong a performance as other classically inspired buildings — in less than a month since sales launched, the building has reached 50% in sales.

Remaining availabilities start at $1.2 million for one-bedrooms and $3.75 million for three-bedrooms. Among them is a three-bedroom, 1,894-square-foot penthouse with 355 square feet of private outdoor space; this is listed for $5.75 million. Closings are estimated for the third quarter of 2022.

The Edison Gramercy is across the street from Peter’s Field and up the block from Stuyvesant Square Park. Some of the city’s best restaurants - Union Square Café, Gramercy Tavern, and ABC Kitchen among them - are a short walk away.
It is also located in the midst of a local building boomlet. Up the street, listings at Celeste Gramercy are quickly entering contract; remaining availabilities start at $2.575 million for two-bedrooms and $2.975 million for three-bedrooms. In the opposite direction, a small handful of availabilities at 121 East 22nd Street starts at $3.055 million.
