Fresh off its successes at 520 Park Avenue, where closed sales average a whopping $6,161 per square foot, and 50 United Nations Plaza, a Foster + Partners-designed condominium, Zeckendorf Development seems inclined to stick with New York’s east side. For its latest residential project, it looks to Midtown East: According to The Real Deal, the firm just filed plans for an 18-story residential building at 115 East 55th Street.
The 60,000-square-foot building will have 62 units and residential amenities that include a roof terrace, gym, lounge, and meeting rooms. SLCE Architects is listed as the architect of record. The site is just south of Central Park, and its prime address between Park and Lexington Avenues puts it near Michelin-starred restaurants, high-end shopping on Madison and Fifth Avenues, and several transportation options.

Three years ago, financial consultancy Sabr Group purchased the development site, a portfolio of four contiguous townhouses, for $54 million under an entity known as 113-1119 East 55 Owner LLC. In spite of this, it has not yet been confirmed whether it is Zeckendorf Development’s official partner on this project.
