There is a continuing increase in the number of apartments in Manhattan that are being constructed. Out of the many distinct neighborhoods on the island, there is a particularly growing number of apartments in the Upper East Side that are either already on the market and or sold, or will eventually be created in the next few years. The Yorkille section between Second and Third Avenue is witnessing such change. Plans for new buildings as high as nearly 500 feet tall have either just begun to get underway or are nearing completion. We gathered 5 sites that are surely bound to transform the area and bring a collection of new rental and condominium units.
1) 200 East 83rd Street
The tallest new building currently underway in the neighborhood is 200 East 83rd Street, a 35-story residential tower nearing completion in the Yorkville section of the neighborhood. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and developed by Naftali Group and Rockefeller Group, the topped out 489-foot-tall reinforced concrete superstructure will yield a total of 205,877 square feet and bring 86 apartments to the Upper East Side with sales and marketing led by Compass, as well as 3,033 square feet of ground-floor retail space and parking for 26 vehicles. SLCE Architects is serving the architect of record for the property, which is located at the corner of Third Avenue and East 83rd Street.
200 East 83rd Street will have some of the most luxurious apartments in Manhattan which would range from one- to six-bedroom layouts with pricing from $2.05 million to $32.5 million. Two-bedrooms begin at $3.175 million, three-bedrooms at $4.35 million, and four-bedrooms at $5.35 million. There are also three penthouses available in five- or six-bedroom layouts with prices from $23 million to $32.5 million. Each comes with private outdoor space. The lowest homes start on the seventh floor with a maximum of four homes per level. Apartments on the lower floors have an average span of 2,000 square feet. Two full-floor penthouses are perched on the 32nd and 33rd stories, followed by a sprawling duplex penthouse above.
The upcoming amenities include a vaulted porte-cochere with automated parking opening onto a private courtyard; a 70-foot pool with double-height vaulted ceilings and honed limestone walls on the 17th floor, opening to a loggia with expansive views of the New York City skyline and Central Park; a Winter Garden featuring a double-height loggia with floor-to-ceiling arched windows, vaulted ceilings, and access to an outdoor terrace that can be booked for private gatherings; and a wood- and leather-paneled library that features a fireplace framed by bespoke Rottet Studio-designed marble mantelpiece and has an adjoining landscaped garden. 200 East 83rd also boasts a state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio; a luxurious spa with a steam room, sauna and custom-designed treatment room; playrooms; a private cinema; and a lobby attended 24 hours a day with a doorman and concierge service.
200 East 83rd Street should fully wrap up construction next year.
