Overview of The Vantage at 308 East 38th Street

The Vantage is a 22 story condominium at 308 East 38th Street in Murray Hill, originally built in 2001 by The Clarett Group and designed by Meltzer/Mandl Architects. The building was converted from rentals to condominiums in 2017 when Gaia Real Estate and the Arco Group purchased the property, formerly known as the Montrose, for $75 million. Award winning interior designer Andrés Escobar redesigned the interiors and common spaces during the conversion. The building features a distinctive façade of prefabricated brick and aluminum panels, with 12 floors dramatically cantilevered over the adjacent low rise structure to the west.

The 94 unit building offers an extensive amenity package including an expansive rooftop deck with views of the Manhattan skyline, Empire State Building, and downtown. Residents have access to a 24 hour doorman, state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga studio with private classes, multiple lounge spaces including a lobby lounge with fireplace and media room, co-working space, and bicycle storage with bike share. The building is pet friendly and features a live-in superintendent, package room with notification screen, and storage available for purchase.

Apartments feature open floor plans with large operable windows and discrete air conditioners. Most units include in-unit washer/dryers, hardwood floors, and windowed kitchens with stainless steel appliances. The building offers a range of layouts from one bedroom units starting at 645 square feet to two bedroom duplexes and convertible three bedrooms. Many units feature views of the East River, Empire State Building, and lower Manhattan. Two bedroom apartments typically include en suite primary bathrooms with walk-in closets and windowed dining alcoves that can be closed off for use as home offices or nurseries. The building is investor friendly with no board approval required for purchases.
