The Highpoint at 250 East 40th Street is a 48 story condominium tower completed in 1988 in Murray Hill, developed by East/West Venture (Haseko) and designed by Wechsler, Grasso, Menziuso P.C. This slender tower contains 234 condominium apartments and sits on the southwest corner of Second Avenue, strategically positioned near the cluster of high rises around the Manhattan entrance to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel. The building's location places residents just blocks from Grand Central Terminal and the United Nations, offering exceptional connectivity to transportation and Midtown amenities.
Architecturally, The Highpoint stands out with its distinctive spindly design featuring corner windows flanked by white stone accents for most of its height. The building's clever design places pier accents near, but not at, the corners, creating visual interest and character. The tower sets back at upper floors to accommodate balconies before culminating in two balcony less top floors, creating what one reviewer described as a syncopated rhythm reminiscent of a pin striped suited figure. The building is setback in a small corner plaza, enhancing its street presence.
Every apartment features private balconies, a rare amenity that sets The Highpoint apart from many Manhattan buildings. Units showcase spacious rooms with hardwood floors (including bamboo and red oak options), walls of windows offering open city and East River views, and many have been extensively renovated. Common upgrades include windowed chef's kitchens with custom cabinetry, granite and quartzite countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances from brands like Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, and Viking. Apartments typically feature marble bathrooms, walk in closets, and in-unit washer/dryer in many units. Layout options range from one bedroom units with long foyers and pass through kitchens to expansive three bedroom residences with great rooms exceeding 30 feet in length.
The building offers comprehensive full service amenities including 24 hour doorman and concierge service with a live-in superintendent. The health club features a 40 foot swimming pool, cardio equipment, weight training facilities, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and locker rooms. Additional amenities include a children's playroom, landscaped courtyard with waterfall, bicycle storage, common storage room, and laundry facilities. The pet friendly building allows most dog breeds and welcomes investors, making it attractive to a diverse range of residents seeking luxury living in one of Murray Hill's premier addresses.
