Years after the dust has settled on the Essex Crossing mega-development, new construction on the Lower East Side has by no means ground to a halt. Smaller-scale projects continue to rise throughout the neighborhood, including two new boutique buildings a short distance from the complex: Sales launched at 328 Grand Street in spring 2024, and listings at next-door neighbor 330 Grand Street came on the market a few months later.
The two buildings offer different finishes, layouts, and amenities, but one perk they share is a prime Lower East Side location. The proximity to Essex Crossing allows for easy access to the Regal Essex Crossing movie theater, Essex Market, The Gutter bowling alley, International Center of Photography, and the largest Trader Joe’s on the East Coast. They are also well situated near Dimes Square, the Tenement Museum, popular Lower East Side restaurants, bars, and performance venues, and the Delancey-Essex Street transportation hub.

“Living in the Lower East Side means you're in tune with the NYC culture, the true NYC culture in its rawest form. There's a reason why LES is home to the best night life, trendiest shops and is the setting of many classic NYC moments" — MD Kamruzzaman, Director of Marketing, REAL New York

Down the street from the Essex Crossing high-rises, 328 Grand Street is of decidedly smaller scale at six stories high. This puts it in line with its nearest prewar neighbors, but the building offers a decidedly modern look with a gray concrete facade and oversized windows. Closings have commenced; the penthouse has found a buyer; and the building is open for immediate occupancy. It is being marketed by REAL New York, whose Lower East Side portfolio includes 171 Chrystie Street.
"He is a creative sponsor who understands this market is very open to doing what needs to be done to find the right buyer" — Jennifer Carey, Real New York
In addition to the five floor-through apartments, 328 Grand Street offers two private amenity spaces for purchase in the base of the building, to be customized into a gym, media lounge, office, recording studio, or whatever the buyer wants. This makes a change from multifamily buildings where residents use some of a predetermined amenity package but not others, and the sponsor has sweetened the deal by including a Tesla Cybertruck, or an alternative vehicle priced at or below $100,000, with the purchase of any residence and the amenity spaces. Unlike many in New York, this buyer need not worry about parking: One of the amenity spaces includes a city-approved curb cut.
All units at 328 Grand Street feature double-pane floor-to-ceiling windows, 11’ ceilings, hardwood floors, thoughtful layouts that offer separation from the living and sleeping areas, and LG combo washer/dryers. The kitchens come with quartz countertops, modern finishes, Bosch appliances, and gas ranges with vented hoods. The bathrooms are outfitted with elegant fixtures.

At street level, 330 Grand Street is distinguished by its bright facade with wavy white terra cotta panels. The modern design stands in stark contrast to the red brick structures that surround it, and the large windows allow for incredible light in all the apartments. Sales launched in fall 2024, and occupancy is estimated for later this year. The building’s stacking plan shows only two units per floor, all of which offer private balconies.

The one- to two-bedroom units are reached via key-locked elevator access and feature nearly 10-foot ceilings, wide-plank natural oak floors, built-in storage walls, and in-unit washer/dryers. Kitchens come outfitted with Imperial Danby marble countertops and backsplashes, custom white lacquer and walnut veneer cabinetry, and Miele appliances, including induction cooktops. Bathrooms offer large-format porcelain tiles, double vanities, bidet toilet seats, and walk-in showers with rain showerheads and handheld shower bars.
330 Grand Street is protected by virtual doorman service, and residents arrive to a stylish lobby with Italian Luce Gold wall panels and Calacatta natural stone flooring. Amenity offerings include a fitness center, a secure package room, private storage, bike storage, and a rooftop terrace with BBQ grills and open views.
