The 141 Condominium is a mid-century Midtown East building converted to condominium ownership in 1981 — an early conversion that gives owners the flexibility of condo rules in a location most closely served by cooperatives. It sits on East 55th Street between Lexington and Third, within walking distance of Grand Central, Sutton Place, and the Midtown business core.
The building's most distinctive exterior element is the curved stainless-steel marquee over the entrance, a period detail that marks it as a product of the 1950s. Some brokerages file the building under the Sutton Place submarket.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01310-7501) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
Condo flexibility in a co-op-heavy corridor is the draw. The 1981 conversion gives owners pied-à-terre, sublet, and investment latitude uncommon among nearby buildings.
The mid-century pedigree is genuine. Greenberg & Ames designed the building in 1956; the stainless-steel marquee is an original period detail.
Location favors the Midtown East and Grand Central worker. The block sits within a short walk of the business core and multiple transit lines.
Confirm the pet policy at diligence. Sources conflict; verify current condominium rules.
