The Cielo is a 27 story luxury condominium at 450 East 83rd Street and York Avenue that opened in 2006 with 128 residences. Developed by J.D. Carlisle Development Corporation and designed by Perkins Eastman, this white glove building features a striking setback tower design with abundant corner windows and vertical piers that emphasize its height. The building's most distinctive feature is the commissioned Richard Haas mural directly across 83rd Street—a 77 foot wide trompe l'oeil depicting a painted glockenspiel flanked by New York City police officers, created at a cost of approximately $200,000 as a nod to Yorkville's Germanic heritage.
Residents enjoy comprehensive amenities including 24 hour doorman and concierge service, a live-in superintendent, fitness center, children's playroom, 44 car on-site garage, bicycle storage, cold storage, and stroller room. The building also houses about 4,000 square feet of medical office space. The lobby features paintings by Betsy Eby, and original buyers received complimentary Whitney Museum memberships as part of the building's artistic focus, which included an "art concierge" service.
Apartments feature 10 to 11 foot ceilings and high end finishes throughout, including Bulthaup kitchens with Pietra Cardosa countertops and Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances. Bathrooms showcase Villefort limestone floors, custom ebonized black walnut cabinetry, and double Kohler sinks with Waterworks fixtures. Units range from studios to expansive penthouses, with many featuring wraparound terraces, floor-to-ceiling windows, and in-unit washer and dryer. The penthouse boasts a 32 foot long living and dining room, while corner units offer particularly dramatic city and river views.
Located just one block west of Carl Schurz Park and the East River promenade, the building provides easy access to outdoor recreation and waterfront leisure. The neighborhood offers convenient shopping at Morton Williams, Dorian Seafood Market, and the renowned Ottomanelli Bros. Butcher Shop, while transportation options include nearby Q and 4/5/6 subway lines plus excellent bus service along the 86th Street crosstown route.
