This 33-story, 190,000-square-foot luxury residential tower sits on the corner of East 83rd Street and York Avenue, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The site covers four assembled parcels and utilizes square footage obtained from air rights from adjacent buildings to the south. The building juxtaposes two distinct characters: the six-story base of brick and stone, and the slender tower that climbs up to the sky as brick slowly disappears and glass and spandrel panels wrap the facades. On the tower’s upper portion are several slim vertical recesses that add a jewel-like quality to the facade as seen from the street. The use of stone and brick at the building’s base creates a sense of mass and foundation for the tower.

Since the building was intended for the high end market apartments are arranged strategically to accommodate this particular demand. Floors two through six have studio and one-bedroom apartments, while floors seven through 24, have on each floor one three-bedroom apartment and three two-bedroom apartments, ranging from 1,100 square feet to 1,500 square feet. The upper portion of the tower has three three-bedroom apartments per floor, ranging from 1,500 square feet to 1,700 square feet. The top floor offers penthouse apartments with roof terraces. On the south side of the roof are a garden and swimming pool
