Situated between such icons as Union Square Park and Astor Place, the stretch of the East Village once known as “Book Row” would seem to have faded into history and obsolescence. But Parametric Development Group doesn’t think so: Construction is almost finished at Eighty East Tenth, its 10-story boutique condominium on the corner of Fourth Avenue. Construction topped out in November 2017, and the full-height windows and metal panels in the facade designed by NAVA Companies is nearly complete.

Closings commenced over the summer and came in at an average of $2,302 per square foot. The three remaining availabilities are a four-bedroom with a large private balcony listed for $7.5 million, a three-bedroom with two private terraces for $7.75 million, and a five-bedroom duplex penthouse with three private terraces and a roof deck for a whopping $15 million. At an average price of $2,814 per square foot, it comes to more than one and a half times the local average of $1,770 per square foot (figures per CityRealty data).

Open chef’s kitchens come outfitted with Calacatta marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and Miele appliances. Master suites feature modern chevron-patterned floors and custom baths.

Eighty East Tenth’s landscaped and furnished roof deck looks out on beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline. At lobby level, a commissioned sculpture by Brooklyn-based artist John Clement makes a striking centerpiece. Additional amenities include virtual concierge and bike room.

According to Untapped Cities, this stretch of Fourth Avenue got its one-time name in honor of the secondhand bookstores that lined it between the 1890s and 1960s. In the present day, the only vestiges of that time are Alabaster Bookshop and the recently landmarked Strand Book Store. Eighty East Tenth also pays homage to this history with bronze-toned panels that have impressions stippled in curving patterns. They are the result of an intensive creative process of “transforming and expressing the written word into a physical pattern on the building’s façade,” says NAVA.
