Overview of The Capri at 235 East 55th Street

The Capri is a 46 story mixed use tower at 235 East 55th Street, designed by Costas Kondylis for developer Arun I. Bhatia and completed in 2001. Student housing occupies the lower 31 floors, while 42 condominium residences are arranged over the upper 15. The setback slab has a predominantly glass street façade, plain side walls, a canopied entrance, and an Art Deco style rooftop water tank enclosure.

The condo floors generally contain two or three residences, with larger homes near the top sharing a floor with only one neighbor. Floor-to-ceiling windows, corner living areas, and multiple exposures frame views of the East River, Queensboro Bridge, Central Park, and the Midtown skyline. Penthouse B is organized as a duplex around a double-height living area with 20 foot ceilings and a private terrace.

The building has an attended lobby, 24 hour doorman, concierge, live-in superintendent, central air conditioning, and an outdoor entertainment space. Laundry rooms are located on the residential floors, and some homes have in-unit washer dryers. Pets are allowed.

The Capri is in Midtown East on a mid-block site between Second and Third avenues. Whole Foods is two blocks north, while the Lexington Avenue/53rd Street station, served by the E and M trains, is two avenues west. The Queensboro Bridge is four blocks north, and East River parks and paths lie several blocks east.
