Designed by Schuman Lichtenstein Claman & Efron and completed in 1986, its exterior is defined by angled balconies, a polished granite entrance portico, and a landscaped mid-block plaza with seating.

The building contains 181 apartments, including alcove studios and larger layouts with separate or windowed kitchens. Many residences have private balconies and open city views, particularly on the upper floors, while in-unit washer and dryers appear in numerous apartments.

Broker & Resident Comments

"Prime Midtown East" location "steps from Grand Central" makes this doorman building a "convenient choice" for city dwellers. While the "courteous" staff and "attentive" maintenance team earn consistent praise, the "lightning-fast elevators" have a "checkered history" of reliability. Building offers "basic amenities" including laundry and dry cleaning services, with some units featuring "coveted balconies." Recent construction has made for "challenging noise levels" on lower floors, but the "well-maintained" building remains a "solid choice" for those prioritizing location over luxury amenities.
