Continental Towers, erected in 1975 at 301 East 79th Street, is a distinctive 36-story luxury condominium building that stands out for its unusual orientation with its main axis along the cross-street rather than the avenue. The building, which was converted to condominiums in 1986, contains 532 apartments, with 462 being one-bedroom units. Its architectural design features a beige-brick façade punctuated by dark-railed balconies in a staccato rhythm, with five columns of balconies on the cross-street and one on the avenue.
The building's entrance is characterized by a one-and-a-half-story-high lobby featuring a large chandelier, with the entrance set back in a plaza on 79th Street. The entrance is notably adorned with polished red granite under a large marquee, and the street frontage includes decorative wall lanterns and planters along 79th Street.
Residents enjoy a comprehensive suite of amenities including 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a live-in superintendent, fitness center, bike storage, central laundry facilities, on-site parking, and a landscaped roof deck with garden. The building's location on the Upper East Side provides convenient access to multiple transportation options including the 77th Street 6 train and 72nd Street Q train, as well as proximity to numerous restaurants, shops, and parks including Central Park, John Jay Park, and Carl Schurz Park.
