260 East 72nd Street (1357 Second Avenue)

As a new condominium, 260 East 72nd Street has no co-op board admission; purchases run through the condominium's application and right-of-first-refusal process. Confirm financing, leasing, pied-à-terre and ownership-entity rules in the offering plan, declaration and bylaws once accepted. The building is designed as a full-service condominium with an attended lobby and a resident amenity program; the final staffing model and amenity suite follow the offering plan once accepted and the construction timeline.

The massing rises from the avenue before stepping back on its upper floors. The setbacks create terraces and a tapered profile, and the decorative bulkhead continues the masonry composition. Verify which outdoor spaces belong to a particular apartment and their approved use.

Inside, the 60 residences are new-construction homes with contemporary ceiling heights, modern mechanical and air systems, and the finish program detailed in the offering plan. The sponsor markets two- to five-bedroom homes, with the larger family residences on the terraced upper floors. Two commercial units sit at ground level, and the plan includes 15 parking and 28 storage interests.

This is a new-development purchase. The residences are offered under a condominium plan; closing mechanics, common-charge and tax projections, and finish selections all follow that plan and the construction schedule. We help buyers read the plan, benchmark the pricing against comparable new product, and structure the deal.

Location does real work. The Q train’s 72nd Street station is at the site; compare actual trips with your destinations and nearby alternatives. That proximity does not guarantee value retention, short commutes or unmatched access. The Lenox Hill medical corridor, Second and Third Avenue retail, and the cross-town bus are all within a short walk.

Document the completed apartment and specifications. Distinguish built features from proposed finishes and amenities, including any changes in the accepted plan or amendments.

Compare relevant ownership alternatives. Recent Upper East Side and Lenox Hill condos are useful references; suitably adjusted older buildings and co-ops may also inform value. Check actual sales and adjust for tenure, services, costs, condition and layout rather than assume what every buyer compares.

Early resales compete with the sponsor. With 60 residences and sponsor sales launching in fall 2026, early resales may compete with unsold sponsor inventory; confirm the sponsor's remaining inventory and pricing at the time of any resale.
