Overview of 389 East 89th Street

389 East 89th Street is a 33 story condominium tower with 156 residences, originally developed as rentals in 2002 under the name Post Toscana before being converted to condominiums in 2016. The building was acquired by Magnum Real Estate Group, headed by Ben Shaoul, in a notable $270 million deal that also included the adjacent 385 First Avenue. Designed by Ismael Leyva with interiors by acclaimed architect and designer Paris Forino, the tower features a distinctive façade with corner windows, stone sections that narrow above the 16th floor, and simple pergolas in place of traditional cornices.

The building offers comprehensive amenities including a 24 hour doorman and concierge, fitness center, children's playroom, a landscaped third floor terrace with grill, and a rooftop terrace with 360 degree city views. The lobby is particularly striking, featuring a handsome circular design with onyx accents and an attractive inlaid floor. The building also includes over 9,000 square feet of retail space and welcomes pets with subletting permitted.

Apartments consistently feature custom Italian kitchen cabinetry with lacquered finishes, top of the line Miele appliances including paneled refrigerators, and white marble countertops and backsplashes. A notable luxury for New York City, units include garbage disposals. Bathrooms are appointed with Dolomite marble floors and walls, custom Italian made grey oak vanities with self lit mirrors designed by Paris Forino, Toto toilets, and deep soaking tubs with Waterworks polished chrome fixtures. All residences have 5 inch wide plank white oak floors, high ceilings (some units boast 11+ foot ceiling heights), and in-unit washers and dryers.

Located at the northwest corner of East 89th Street and First Avenue in Yorkville, the building provides easy access to Carl Schurz Park, the East River Promenade, and Central Park. Transportation is convenient with 4/5/6 and Q train access, while the neighborhood offers proximity to Museum Mile, Asphalt Green, and gourmet markets including Whole Foods, Fairway, and Citarella.
