Carter’s Review

"The Highpoint is a slender, 48-story tower on the southwest corner of Second Avenue at 250 East 40th Street. 

It was erected in 1988 by East/West Venture (Haseko) and Toru Nagayama and is one of several tall apartment towers in a dense cluster north of the Queens-Midtown Tunnel. "

Gym & swimming pool. Popular midtown address close to restaurants
and buses.
This building has a very attentive and friendly lobby staff that make every
effort to know and assist all the residence. There is a spacious
attended health club with swimming pool and private men and womens
sauna and dressing areas. The board has recently added new, state of
the art cardio machines.

The condo board is very co-operative and approved buyers without
delay.

Two blocks from Grand Central so that covers a lot of transportation
necessary to get around the city and beyond. There are a multitude of
shopping and dining options in addition to quite and relaxing nearby
parks and outdoor cafes.
Building: Newly Renovated Lobby and Laundry Room, Health Club with Swimming Pool, 24 Hour Doorman/Concierge.
