Warren House is one of the larger postwar condominiums in the Murray Hill / Kips Bay pocket of the East Side, and one of the earlier white-brick towers in the area to convert to condominium ownership. Erected in 1962 on the northwest corner at Third Avenue and converted to condominium in 1986, it offers roughly 330 individually owned residences a short walk from Murray Hill's shopping, the East Midtown medical corridor, and the Grand Central transit hub.
The building's thesis is scale and value: a large, full-service condominium with a full staff and a landscaped roof deck at a per-foot below the boutique new-development market to the west and north. For buyers who want condominium flexibility — pied-à-terre use, investor purchases, straightforward subletting — in a well-located, professionally managed building, Warren House delivers a broad range of layouts, from studios to four-bedroom homes, in a single address.
Architecture and unit composition
H. I. Feldman's design is a clean postwar white-brick tower, distinguished at street level by a two-story black-tile entrance surround, recessed sidewalk landscaping, and a canopied entrance with sightlines toward the Empire State Building a few blocks west. The building rises roughly 20 stories and carries about 330 residences spanning studios through four-bedroom layouts. Many upper-floor units carry open Midtown skyline exposures, and some lines include private terraces or balconies. As with any building of this vintage and size, renovation quality and finish level vary substantially line to line.
Building operations
Warren House runs as a full-service condominium: a 24-hour doorman, a full-time concierge, porters, and an on-site resident manager, plus a landscaped roof deck with open city views, a parking garage, laundry, and storage. Common charges reflect the staffing and the amenity set; the offering plan and current house rules are on file in The Roebling Research Library.

Recent sales
Warren House trades in the middle band of the Murray Hill / Kips Bay condominium market, with pricing that reflects its postwar vintage, its scale, and its full-service operation rather than new-development finishes. The breadth of layouts — studios through four-bedrooms — produces a wide per-square-foot range, and renovation level drives much of the spread within any given line. Apartment-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00890-7501) 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
Underwrite the renovation, not just the address. In a 330-unit postwar building, condition varies enormously line to line. The per-foot you pay should reflect the specific apartment's finishes, not the building average.
Confirm the exposure line by line. The corner site carries open Midtown views on many upper floors, but light and outlook vary substantially by floor and orientation — and by whether a line includes a terrace or balcony.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre and investment use are accommodated under the declaration; subletting is permitted subject to the by-laws; closings run on a condominium timeline of roughly 30 to 45 days.
Model the full carry. Common charges plus property taxes plus utilities and insurance — run the complete monthly number, and confirm any assessments against the building's current financial statements.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the full-service operation and the roof deck. A 24-hour doorman, concierge, on-site management, and a landscaped roof deck are the marketing story in a building of this vintage.
Position against Murray Hill / Kips Bay peers. Your comparable set is the surrounding postwar and boutique East Side condominiums, not the new-development market.
Renovated units and high floors carry the premium. Finish level, floor, view, and private outdoor space drive the per-foot spread.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30 to 45 days from contract to closing.
