Carter Horsley's Review of Kips Bay Court

Carter Horsley's Building Review
"This large complex was one of several very large residential projects that dramatically transformed the East Midtown South neighborhood north of 23rd Street near the East River in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Originally known as Henry Phipps Plaza West, it was designed by Frost Associates and completed in 1976 on a “superblock” site on the east side of Second Avenue between 26th and 29th Street.  The 8-building group, which ranged in height from 12 to 27 stories, was completed as a Mitchell-Lama co-operative with 1,600 units."
