Description

Considered to be one of the city’s most important development projects of the 1980’s condo boom, this full block development not only was the frontier to the revitalization of Union Square Park, but also claimed to be the signal of the up in coming Flat Iron, East Village, and Gramercy Park district as a attractive neighborhood.

Considered to be one of the city’s most important development projects of the 1980’s condo boom, this full block development not only was the frontier to the revitalization of Union Square Park, but also claimed to be the signal of the up in coming Flat Iron, East Village, and Gramercy Park district as a attractive neighborhood.

The building features four towers, the Gramercy, Village, Park, and University. Each tower is capped with screens in the shape of pyramids that are illuminated at night. The lit towers are an extraordinary addition to the Manhattans skyline, especially when seen from the south with the lit towers of the Empire State, Chrysler, and Met Life buildings in the background.

The base of the Zeckendorf Towers building contains several hundred thousand square feet of office and retail space, as well as on site garage parking.

In total, the 670 units are well laid out with very sizable bedroom and living rooms. The building features great amenities like the pool, gym, and common rooftop deck. Maxwell Kates’ on-site staff has been managing the building since 1991.
