Overview of East River Tower at 1725 York Avenue

East River Tower at 1725 York Avenue, also known as Gracie Plaza, is a 35 story, 260 unit co-op built in 1971 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1984. The building is distinguished by its unusual zigzag pattern of corner balconies that alternate their orientation on different sides of the tower, creating an aggressive architectural form while ensuring each balcony receives light without being completely overshadowed by the one above. The building was among the first luxury high rises in the area to feature its own circular driveway and double-height lobby.

The building offers extensive amenities accessible from within, including a fitness center, two indoor tennis courts (a rarity in Manhattan), a 24 hour attended parking garage, library, children's playroom, bike storage, and laundry room. The building is staffed by a 24 hour doorman, concierge, and live-in resident manager. The porte cochere provides convenient pickup and drop off access.

Apartments feature a range of layouts from one to three bedrooms, with many units offering convertibility (one bedrooms to two bedrooms, two bedrooms to three bedrooms). Common features include wood or oak floors, generous closet space with walk in closets in many units, and washer/dryer installation permitted with board approval. East and west facing units offer open city views, while east facing apartments provide direct views of the East River, Gracie Mansion, and the bridges of Long Island Sound. Corner units often include wrap balconies. Ceiling heights reach 8'5" in some units, and several sponsor units are available requiring no board approval.

The building permits pets and pied-à-terres, allows 70% financing, and charges a 1.75% flip tax paid by the buyer. Located steps from Carl Schurz Park, Asphalt Green, Gracie Mansion, and the East River Promenade, residents have easy access to the Second Avenue subway, Whole Foods, Fairway Market, and numerous restaurants and shops.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
