Overview of The Whitney at 311 East 38th Street

The Whitney is a 28 story, 118 unit full service condominium at 311 East 38th Street, completed in 1986. Developed by Arum Bhatia Development Corporation and designed by Liebman & Liebman Architects, the building is distinguished by its pale yellow brick façade and numerous balconies, many with curved ends. The double-height lobby and plaza along the eastern side provide upper floor residents with desirable East River views, particularly notable during the Macy's July 4th fireworks.

Apartments commonly feature private balconies or terraces, with some units offering wrap around outdoor spaces exceeding 100 square feet. Floor-to-ceiling windows are standard throughout, and many units enjoy dual east and west exposures with open city and river views. Two bedroom units generally feature split bedroom layouts, while corner apartments and top floor residences in the one bedroom line offer particularly expansive layouts and unobstructed views stretching to the World Trade Center.

Building amenities include a 24 hour doorman and concierge, state-of-the-art fitness center with sauna, lockers and showers, bike room, storage facilities, and a landscaped courtyard garden with fountain. Washer and dryer facilities are available on every floor. Pets are permitted, with one dog up to 40 pounds allowed per residence. A parking garage is located directly next door.

The Whitney's Murray Hill location provides convenient access to Grand Central Terminal, the United Nations, East River Ferry, and numerous shops and restaurants. The mid block setting on this tree lined street offers relative quiet despite the area's proximity to the Queens Midtown Tunnel approach.
