The Harper is a 21-story contemporary condominium located at 310 East 86th Street, designed by ODA New York and developed by IGI. The building draws inspiration from Art Deco and Bauhaus design principles, featuring a distinctive limestone façade with oversized windows that creates a striking presence on the Upper East Side streetscape. Completed in late 2023, the building contains 63 units ranging from two to four bedrooms, with layouts that emphasize both scale and thoughtful design.
The apartments showcase consistently high-end finishes throughout, with custom Poliform kitchens featuring warm matte lacquer cabinetry and antique brass hardware by WaterWorks. All units include Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and backsplashes, integrated Miele appliances, and primary bathrooms wrapped in Crema Luna limestone complemented by Namibia white marble. Standard features across units include white oak flooring, radiant heated floors, solid core wood doors with Valli & Valli hardware, and high-efficiency central VRF climate systems. Many residences offer private balconies, and split layouts are common throughout the building.
Notable residences include Penthouse B, a 2,540-square-foot duplex with an exceptional 940-square-foot private rooftop terrace complete with outdoor kitchenette and BBQ grill. The building's largest units span 2,650 square feet with four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, while corner units feature expansive floor-to-ceiling glass cantilevers that frame city views. High-floor residences on the 18th and 20th floors offer particularly coveted southern exposures.
The Harper provides comprehensive amenities including a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, state-of-the-art fitness center, and thoughtfully designed spaces for residents of all ages. These include a children's playroom, makers studio, dedicated music studio, and separate teen lounge. The building's prime Upper East Side location offers proximity to Central Park, Carl Schurz Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum Mile, and convenient access to the Second Avenue subway.
In fall 2025, Hamptons-based wellness studio The Formula x Meredith signed a lease for its first New York City location in the base of The Harper, a new development condominium on the Upper East Side. It is expected to open in early 2026. The lease comes at a time when The Harper is open for immediate occupancy and nearing 75% sold.
