Facade assembly is steadily progressing on 200 East 75th Street, an 18-story residential building in the Lenox Hill neighborhood of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Beyer Blinder Belle and developed by EJS Development, which purchased the property in March 2021 for $32.5 million, the building will span 97,569 square feet and feature 36 condominiums and ground-floor retail space. The property has an alternate address of 1305-1307 Third Avenue and is located at the intersection of Third Avenue and East 75th Street.

The first sections of panelled brick facade were beginning to cover the centre of the reinforced concrete superstructure at the time of our last update in late May. Work has progressed steadily and is now approaching the first of the upper setbacks. Some of the spaces between each level and the grid of floor-to-ceiling windows have been filled in, including the first pieces of the white fluted parapets now visible around the corners of the building, as well as thin white vertical concave terracotta panels. In the meantime, several scaffold hoists continue to work up and down the north and west sides of the cladding, while black netting and metal scaffolding still cover the multi-faceted crown and roof bulkhead.

DBOX’s main rendering shows the pre-war-inspired design of 200 East 75th Streets in morning light, revealing the light limestone base, earth-toned brick facade, fluted terra-cotta trim, and decorative metal details at the top. Windows will be delivered in a mix of recessed rectangular and arched floor-to-ceiling forms, while setbacks on the upper floors will feature the same brick and metal trim that matches the aesthetic of the rest of the building below. New tree-lined walkways will surround the north and west ground floor facades.

The following illustration provides a night view of the upper setbacks in the north profile and shows the three noticeably oversized arched windows flanked by planted terraces offering views of the neighborhood.

The entrance to the residence is located on East 75th Street under a dark metal roof, flanked by two large cylindrical lights and two white planters. Next to it is a garage door that leads to the on-site parking area immediately west of the entrance door.

The entrance to the main lobby will feature an atrium decorated with artwork, adjacent to an arched entrance leading to the reception. The floor will be a black and white marble checkerboard pattern.

Compass Development Marketing Group is the exclusive sales and marketing agent and Yellow House Architects is the interior designer of the condominiums, which include five full-floor penthouse apartments on the top floor of the building. Sales began in March and prices for two-bedroom apartments start at $3.325 million.

The closest subway stations to the future construction project are the 6 regional rail line at the 77th Street station to the northwest along Lexington Avenue and the Q line at the 72nd Street station to the south along Second Avenue.

200 East 75th Street is scheduled to be completed sometime in 2025.
