Astor Terrace is a 33 story, 290 unit condominium at 245 East 93rd Street, developed in 1985 by Jean & David Solomon and the Equitable Life Assurance Society. The young developers hired the prestigious firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill alongside residential specialists Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman & Efron to design the tower. The building features attractive dark red brickwork and large corner windows, with three setbacks at the top and an unusual inclusion of townhouses in its low-rise base. A broad balustrade tops the base, adding visual character to this prominent Second Avenue presence.
The full service building offers a 24 hour doorman, concierge, and resident manager, along with a circular driveway that provides convenient access from both 93rd and 94th Streets. A unique amenity is the private gated park across the street, exclusively for residents who receive keys. Additional facilities include a windowed state-of-the-art fitness center, children's playroom, bike room, resident's lounge with fireplace and private dining, parking garage, and private storage that transfers with apartment purchases. The building is pet friendly and located near Carl Schurz Park with direct access to the Q subway line at 94th Street.
Many units feature private terraces or balconies with eastern or western exposures, some offering partial East River views. Many apartments include in-unit washer/dryers, floor-to-ceiling windows (particularly in corner units), hardwood or maple flooring, and abundant closet space. Units range from approximately 750 square feet for one bedrooms to over 1,700 square feet for three bedroom homes, with private storage included for each residence.
