The Westbury stands as a distinguished prewar condominium at 15 East 69th Street, occupying a prime corner location on Madison Avenue just one block from Central Park. Originally constructed in 1927 as the Westbury Hotel and operated by Trust House Forte, this 18-story red brick building with limestone base was thoughtfully converted to just 47 luxury condominiums in 1999, maintaining only four residences per floor to ensure exclusivity and privacy.
The building's conversion preserved its hotel-caliber service standards, offering residents 24-hour concierge and doorman services, along with amenities including a fitness center, wine cellar with individual storage units, bicycle room, and optional maid service. The double-height lobby retains the elegance of its hotel origins, while the ground-floor retail spaces have housed prestigious tenants including Sulka, Alfred Dunhill, and Gucci, reflecting the building's position along one of Manhattan's most exclusive shopping corridors.
Residences at The Westbury typically feature elaborate entrance galleries, wood-burning fireplaces, and custom millwork that showcase classic prewar craftsmanship. Apartments range from approximately 1,600 to over 3,000 square feet, with many offering coffered ceilings, marble bathrooms, and custom closet systems. The crown jewel is a duplex penthouse with over 2,000 square feet of terraces providing panoramic city and skyline views. The building's location provides immediate access to Central Park, the Frick Collection, Madison Avenue's luxury boutiques, and some of the city's finest restaurants, while welcoming both pets and pied-à-terre ownership.
