A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Hayworth would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
The Hayworth is Carnegie Hill's marquee new-construction condominium of the late 2010s — a full-service tower designed by HOK with interiors by SheltonMindel, completed in 2019 on the northeast corner of Lexington Avenue and 86th Street. The building offers systems delivered with the 2019 construction, contemporary open layouts, full amenities and condominium ownership. Compare those features and current condition with specific Carnegie Hill alternatives; pre-war buildings can be renovated, and vintage alone does not establish what they can offer.
The location is central Carnegie Hill at its most convenient. The corner sits directly atop the 86th Street station — the express stop that is one of the Upper East Side's most valuable transit assets — with the Second Avenue subway, Central Park, Museum Mile, and the neighborhood's celebrated private schools all within easy reach. For buyers who want a turn-key, full-service condominium in pre-war Carnegie Hill, The Hayworth is one of a very small set of options.
Architecture and unit composition
HOK's 18-story design is a contemporary masonry-and-glass tower that reads as a measured, current addition to the Carnegie Hill streetscape rather than a glass outlier — a limestone-toned base and a restrained façade that respect the neighborhood's pre-war context. The 61 residences, with interiors by SheltonMindel, run from two- to five-bedroom homes, including duplexes and penthouses, with the high ceilings, open kitchens, and floor-to-ceiling glass of contemporary luxury construction.
The mix favors larger family-scale apartments — the configurations Carnegie Hill buyers seek — with the upper floors capturing Central Park and skyline exposures.
Building operations
The Hayworth operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center, residents' lounge, children's playroom, and private storage; apartments carry in-unit washer/dryers. Cats and dogs are permitted under the building rules. With 61 residences carrying full staffing and an amenity suite, common charges reflect the service level and the building's new-construction systems.
Buyers should review the offering plan, current financials, board minutes, and reserve study during due diligence — standard practice for a recent-construction building, where façade, mechanical, and amenity reserves warrant attention.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

The Hayworth trades as a condominium, so pricing is read on a price-per-square-foot basis, and any price ranking, premium over nearby pre-war cooperatives or eight-figure benchmark should be established from dated, matched transactions rather than construction type alone. With 61 units, the building offers its own internal comparable set, and pricing is highly apartment-specific: floor, exposure, layout, and Park sight lines drive the variation. We underwrite each unit against the building's own trades and the broader Carnegie Hill condominium set.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $2,003/sf (floor-adjusted) across 3 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 8.6% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
This is rare new construction in pre-war Carnegie Hill. Brand-new systems, contemporary layouts, and full amenities in a neighborhood where new condominium product is scarce.
The corner and the transit are the location story. Directly atop the 86th Street express stop, steps from the Park, Museum Mile, and the private schools — confirm each unit's exposure and Park sight lines.
Full service with family-scale layouts. Doorman, concierge, gym, lounge, and a children's playroom, in a building built for the larger apartments Carnegie Hill buyers want.
Underwrite the new building properly. Review the offering plan, financials, and reserves as with any recent-construction condominium.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre, investor, and foreign-buyer use permitted; subletting allowed under the declaration.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with new construction and the corner. The HOK architecture, the SheltonMindel interiors, the full amenities, and the 86th Street transit corner are the marketing assets.
Price to the building's own comps. With 61 units, the persuasive evidence is The Hayworth's own trades adjusted for floor, exposure, and Park sight lines, supplemented by the Carnegie Hill condominium set.
Reach the family and trophy buyer pool. Demand for turn-key full-service family condominiums in Carnegie Hill is deep and partly international; market to both audiences.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
