Plaza East, 340 East 34th Street: Review and Ratings
between First Avenue & Second Avenue View Full Building Profile
This attractive, 17-story, building was erected in 1962 and renovated in 1995 and has 198 rental apartments.
The façade of this beige-brick, mid-block building is modulated with red-brick banding at its center and is very similar to the 16-story building across the street at 333 East 34th Street.
It has a concierge, a one-story red-brick base with a polished pink granite entrance surround, a canopied entrance, a roof deck, a garage, and discrete air-conditioners. It has no sidewalk landscaping, no balconies and no health club.
This area was significantly upgraded with the development of numerous luxury high-rise towers near the Manhattan entrance to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel a couple of blocks to the north beginning in the late 1980s and the renaissance of the Madison Square Park/Flatiron District to the west and south.
There is good cross-town bus service on 34th Street although this location is not close to a subway. The Murray Hill and Midtown South districts are not too far away.
6sqft delivers the latest on real estate, architecture, and design, straight from New York City.
