The Hawthorne is a 14 story white brick condop at 211 East 53rd Street, built in 1957 and designed by Boak and Raad. The building contains 145 apartments and operates as a co-op with condominium rules, meaning no board interview is required and subletting is permitted shortly after purchase. Located in the heart of Midtown East, it sits just east of Philip Johnson's distinctive Lipstick Building. The building features angled setbacks near its top and a notable roof deck with small angled overhangs that serve as an architectural flourish in place of a traditional cornice.
The building offers full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness center, bicycle room, on-site garage with direct lobby access, central laundry, and private storage. The landscaped roof deck provides sweeping city views and a tranquil retreat for residents. The building is pet friendly, welcoming both cats and dogs. Legendary boxer Jack Dempsey once called The Hawthorne home.
