The Halcyon is a 32 story luxury condominium tower at 305 East 51st Street in Midtown East's Turtle Bay neighborhood, designed by SLCE Architects with interiors by S. Russell Groves. The building houses 123 residences ranging from studios to four bedrooms within a glass and bronze window wall structure sitting atop a limestone base. Completed in 2015, the tower was developed by HFZ Capital Group after they acquired the project from the original developer, Kennelly Development Company.
Residences feature consistent high end finishes throughout, including 10 foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling double pane windows, and wide plank smoked oak flooring. All units include custom Poliform kitchens with Silver Fox lacquered cabinetry, Calacatta Gold marble countertops and backsplashes, and premium Miele appliances including refrigerators, ovens with gas cooktops, and dishwashers, plus Sub-Zero wine coolers. The white statuary marble bathrooms feature bronze Kohler fittings, deep soaking tubs, radiant heated floors, and glass enclosed showers. Each unit includes in-unit Bosch washer and dryer and individual climate control systems.
The building offers an extensive amenities package anchored by a 52 foot heated indoor swimming pool located on the 22nd floor, along with a fitness center featuring double height windows and panoramic city views. Additional amenities include the Aqua Spa with steam room and sauna, a Sky Lounge on the 21st floor with catering kitchen and media room, a residential library opening to a landscaped courtyard with fire pit, children's playroom, golf simulator room, and bike storage. The tower provides 24 hour doorman and concierge services, with on-site parking available for an additional fee.
Many of the building's most desirable units are corner residences with multiple exposures offering unobstructed city and river views, while several units feature private terraces, including one notable residence with an approximately 900 square foot outdoor space. Upper floor units, particularly those on the 25th floor and above, showcase panoramic views of the Chrysler Building and Midtown skyline. The building's prime Turtle Bay location provides convenient access to Grand Central Terminal, the United Nations, and the neighborhood's dining and cultural attractions.
