The 212 Condominium, formerly known as L'Ecole, is a 35-story beige-brick tower located at 212 East 47th Street in Manhattan's Turtle Bay neighborhood. Originally built in 1979 as a rental property, the building was converted to a 261-unit condominium in 2007 by Extell Development, offering residents a mix of thoughtfully designed layouts with many units featuring private balconies.
During the conversion, buyers were offered three distinct finish collections for their units, each featuring different combinations of premium materials including various wood flooring options, granite or glass countertops, and custom cabinetry. The building's architecture includes a distinctive curved ramp entrance, revolving front door, and consistent fenestration throughout.
Residents enjoy an impressive suite of amenities including a 3,000-square-foot fitness center and yoga studio designed by La Palestra, a panoramic roof deck, media lounge, conference room, children's playroom, and on-site parking garage. The building maintains a full-service staff with 24/7 doorman and concierge service, plus a live-in superintendent.
The location offers exceptional convenience, situated near Grand Central Terminal and the United Nations complex. The Turtle Bay setting provides easy access to cross-town bus service, fine dining establishments, and various urban amenities, making it an attractive option for those seeking a well-appointed residence in midtown Manhattan.
