The Pierpont is a full-service condominium on a tree-lined NoMad side street, named for J. Pierpont (J.P.) Morgan, whose Morgan Library stands nearby. Designed by Philip Birnbaum — one of the most prolific residential architects of postwar Manhattan — and completed in 1984, the 22-story tower is set back in a landscaped plaza and carries numerous balconies and terraces across its facade. It is among the more highly regarded buildings in its price band, combining a full amenity package with a quiet, well-located block between Park and Lexington Avenues.
For buyers, the appeal is a genuinely full-service condominium — 24-hour doorman, a roof deck with a grill, a fitness room, a children's playroom, and a common garden — with the outdoor space (terraces and balconies) that many nearby buildings lack. The condominium form provides pied-à-terre, investment, and subletting flexibility. Its per-square-foot pricing sits at the top of its immediate peer group, reflecting the amenity depth and the location.
Architecture and unit composition
Philip Birnbaum's 22-story tower is set back from the street behind a landscaped plaza, with attractive sidewalk planting and numerous balconies and terraces distributed across the facade. Central air conditioning is standard, and many units carry private outdoor space.
The condominium holds roughly 52 residential units. Recent sales have averaged around $1,355 per square foot, with current asking prices near $1,520 per square foot — the highest per-square-foot pricing among the corridor's comparable postwar condos, reflecting the building's amenity package, outdoor space, and reputation.
Building operations
111 East 30th Street operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman, a common roof deck with a grill, a fitness room/health club, a common garden, a laundry room, resident storage, a children's playroom, central air, and a live-in superintendent. Many apartments have terraces or balconies. There is no on-site garage and no concierge desk beyond the doorman, but the building's amenity depth is strong for its size and vintage.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

What to know if you’re buying
Amenity depth justifies the premium. Doorman, roof deck, gym, playroom, and garden are a strong package for a building of this size — you're paying for it, and it holds value.
Outdoor space is a real differentiator. Terraces and balconies are common here; target them where available.
Condo flexibility applies. Pied-à-terre use, investment ownership, and subletting are all workable under the declaration.
No on-site garage. Factor nearby parking into your carrying-cost math if you own a car.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with amenities and outdoor space. The full-service package and private terraces set the building apart — market them.
Price to the building's premium position. The Pierpont commands top-of-group pricing; support it with the amenity and location story.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.
