Carter Horsley's Review of Windsor Tower

"Windsor Tower at 5 Tudor City Place between 40th and 41st Streets is the grandest building in the famous Tudor City complex across from the United Nations at the far east end of 42nd Street.

The 7-story top of the brown-brick building is festooned with finials, piers and cartouches some triple-height, multi-paned windows giving the appearance of a Tudor palace on steroids, or at least stilts." Read Carter's Full Review

Broker & Buyer Comments

"These buildings, built by Fred French& Co. between 1925 and 1928, are architectual gems. No. 5 and some of the other buildings have health clubs and laundry rooms. The lobbies are quite impressive and beautiful. This is a very difficult board. Your financials must be excellent. Board will demand money kept in escrow, possiby "for life" Tudor City is an Oasis in the middle of Manhattan, with two lovely little parks. Ten minute walk to Loew`s Kips Bay, Borders book, the main library. Has its own post office, L`Impero restaurant, bicycle shop. Five - seven minute walk to Grand Central Station."

"Nice layouts, eastbound with great views over the East River. Other directions depend on the floor. Quiet within Tudor City with a park. UNO vicinity, lots of diplomats plenty of restaurants and grocery stores on 1st Avenue and 42nd street. uncomplicated"
