Overview of The Brevard at 245 East 54th Street

The Brevard, erected in 1977 at 245 East 54th Street between Second and Third Avenues in Midtown East, is a 29-story brown-brick apartment tower that was converted to a cooperative in 1983. The building contains 447 units and stands as one of the largest residential buildings in the area, with apartments on upper floors offering notable city and water views.

This full-service cooperative features 24/7 doorman and concierge service, recently renovated hallways and lobby, a central laundry room on the second floor, and a furnished roof deck with 360-degree views. The building maintains strong financials and includes an in-building parking garage. Residents receive exclusive discounts at the nearby Equinox fitness center.

The Brevard's policies allow pied-a-terres, gifting, and small pets under 15 pounds. After two years of primary residence, owners can sublet for up to 5 years over the life of ownership. Its location provides convenient access to multiple subway lines (4/5/6/E/M), popular fitness centers, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, the Sutton Place district, and numerous restaurants and entertainment options.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This 1983 Midtown East co-op "looks like a condo" with its "beautifully renovated" lobby featuring "extremely high ceilings" and "huge bouquet of flowers," plus a "fabulous wrap around rooftop terrace" that earns raves; "full service, white glove" amenities include "24 hr doorman" and concierge, while the "prime" location puts you "across from Equinox" and "walking distance to Bloomingdales" with "tons of great restaurants" and easy access to the E, V, 6 trains; the board is "a little tough" ("financially qualified" buyers pass, but "no working from home"), the managing agent can be "difficult to get a hold of," and while some praise the "low monthly maintenance," detractors warn of "poor maintenance" and call management "incompetent" and the board "an absolute mess" – hallway renovations currently underway suggest improvements in progress.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

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.
