Building: Kips Bay Towers

Designed by renowned architect I.M. Pei and set in a beautiful, private, park-like setting in the midst of New York City’s very desirable Murray Hill/Kips Bay neighborhood in lower midtown, Kips Bay Towers, with its hallmark huge picture windows, is the precursor to new development design as we know it today with full floor-to-ceiling windows. The two towers each have 20 twenty floors with a total of 1118 units. The building on the 30th Street side was completed in 1961 and the 33rd Street side was completed in 1963. The buildings were converted to condos in 1981. Perhaps the most special feature of Kips Bay Towers is the 7.5 acres of land it is set on, with a lot of private outdoor space including 3 acres of beautiful green landscaped gardens, a playground, a basketball court, and a sports field. Additional amenities include 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in super and a full support staff, fitness center, community room, storage, bike room, laundry facilities, and a parking garage. Great location just steps from NYU Hospital, Kips Bay movie tenplex, gourmet food shopping including a brand new Fairway market around the corner, many fine restaurants, the 6 subway line, and a short walk to Grand Central, Macy’s, Lord and Taylor, plus easy access to the airports via the Midtown Tunnel 2 blocks away. Condo rules with right-of-first-refusal and liberal sublet policy. Sorry, no dogs.
