Connaught Tower is a luxury cooperative with full-service amenities and a prime Midtown location. The building offers a range of features including a fitness center, indoor pool, and convenient access to shopping, dining, and transportation.
Connaught Tower is a 35 story, 360 unit post-war co-op completed in 1978 at 300 East 54th Street in Midtown East. Designed by Philip Birnbaum for developers Charles Benenson and Lawrence and Preston Tisch, the tower has a rectilinear façade organized around columns of balconies, capped by a roofline that projects above them. A street level plaza separates the entrance from Second Avenue, while a porte cochère leads to a double-height lobby.
Private balconies, oversized windows and flexible layouts recur throughout the building, including Junior 4 and convertible one bedroom plans that accommodate a second bedroom. Corner and high floor apartments draw light from multiple exposures, with views encompassing the Chrysler Building, the Midtown skyline, the East River and the Queensboro Bridge. Windowed kitchens and bathrooms are also common, while larger combinations may have split bedroom layouts, multiple terraces and in-unit washer/dryers.
The 36th floor Penthouse Club centers on a glass enclosed, 40 foot heated indoor pool and also contains a fitness center, sauna, sundeck and residents lounge with a catering kitchen. Connaught Tower has a 24 hour doorman and concierge, a live-in superintendent, central laundry, bike storage, private storage and a garden. Its on-site garage connects directly to the building.
Pets and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted, financing is limited to 70 percent, and subletting is not allowed. The co-op has been nonsmoking since 2019. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and Bloomingdale’s are several blocks away, and the address sits between the Midtown office district and the quieter Sutton Place streets to the east.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
