House: The Frame Building

Completed reimagined and converted in 2018, ‘The Frame Building’ is now comprised of 5 full-floor luxury rental apartments with a private residential entrance at street level, secure Virtual doorman intercom system, and fob-keyed elevator access to each floor. Open and airy with ceilings heights up to 12ft, all residences offer well-proportioned layouts, and windows from 3 exposures allowing for optimal natural light throughout. No detail was spared during this residential transformation.

Constructed in 1915 and steeped in history, this classic 6-story pre-war elevator building on the Upper East Side was occupied by the world-renowned framing and restoration company ‘Lowy’ for several decades. Founded in 1907, Lowy amassed the world’s largest collection of antique frames and has been appointed to work with the worlds most prized art collections for clients such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The White House. Lowy was originally attracted to 223 E80th St due to the ‘abundance of unobstructed light’ allowing ideal working conditions in the space for their team of art conservators, and craftsmen; Lowy has now moved to E59th St.

Amenities include a common roof terrace, lobby delivery closet, bicycle racks, and dedicated private storage room for every apartment in the basement level. Perfectly situated mid-block on tree-lined E80th St, the building offers close proximity to Uptown’s best dining, shopping, fitness, gourmet groceries, as well as excellent transportation including the 4, 5, 6, and Q trains. Pet friendly on a case by case basis.
