Upper East Side Condos: Development-O-Rama!
The Laurel Condominium
255 East 74th Street
The Lucida
The Brompton
Miraval Living Condo
300 East 79th Condo
Doctor's Housing on 72nd + First Ave.
If it is high rise condo luxury that you are looking for, the Upper East Side is beginning to fill the void with a number of upscale offerings. The Brompton is looking great and nearly topped off- love the brick! Both The Lucida and 255 East 74th Street impressed me with the extra thickness of the concrete floors. The Laurel Condominium has very attractive Indiana Limestone base, and is rising so quickly, and so high! If it's glass you are looking for 300 East 79th or The doctor's housing on 72nd and 1st Ave. will fit the bill (although I guess you have to be a doctor with Cornell to qualify for 72nd Street). And finally at Miraval Living, looks like 3/4's of the outside work is done, and I'm told the elegant lobby will finally be finished at the end of the month.
As a whole they are a great looking bunch of condos, but mind you, Luxury and opulence on the UES does not come cheap, $1500 per square foot is the approximate median price, and you can go way above that on a high floor.
Stay tuned for individual condo reviews and an update on The Lucida vs. The Brompton series.
Interesting that you left Manhattan House out of your post. There is no way O'Connor will come close to getting $1,500 psf with all this competition.
ReplyDeleteI initially planned to only post the brand new condo developments under construction. I strayed from plan with the pics of Miraval. $1500 per foot at Manhattan House? Given it's location, it wouldn't suprise me.
ReplyDelete255 east 74 finally got started, I see. was there a major delay on that one? i feel like that lot was empty w/ no progress for a very very long time. nice pics though.
