A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Lexington Hill Condominiums 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.
Lexington Hill puts 42 condominium apartments into an eight-story building with an unusually varied façade. Red brick, glass and metal panels divide the Lexington Avenue frontage, while projecting balconies and upper setbacks create outdoor space at several levels. Gilman Architects designed the building for SUNSUN Development Group, with Wor Chin named on its DOB new-building filing.
The apartment mix reaches from studios through two-bedroom homes. Many residences have private balconies or terraces, and all owners share a roof deck. The 103rd Street Lexington Avenue subway entrance is at the south end of the block, placing the building close to a local station without a long cross-avenue walk.
Its scale and service model are useful distinctions. Entry is handled through a virtual doorman and video system, and the shared amenity program centers on the roof. The building's former tax benefit ended in 2023, so its resale market now operates beyond the original abatement period.
Architecture and unit composition
The façade combines a masonry body with narrow glazed sections and metal-clad elements. Angled balcony fronts and setbacks interrupt the regular floor lines. Retail occupies the base, while the residential levels above contain apartments facing both the avenue and the rear of the property.
The residential plans include compact studios, one-bedroom homes and two-bedroom apartments with two bathrooms. Recorded interior areas extend from the smaller studio category through two-bedroom homes of roughly 1,100 square feet. Private outdoor space includes projecting balconies off living rooms and larger terraces at the upper levels.
Some two-bedroom plans connect the kitchen, dining area and living room in a broad shared space. Others retain more separation around the kitchen. Walk-in closets appear in part of the inventory, and the larger plans can provide separate bathroom access for each bedroom. In-unit laundry and individual heating and cooling equipment are recurring features.
The original finish palette included oak flooring, cherry kitchen cabinetry and quartz counters. Subsequent renovations have introduced different cabinetry, appliances and finishes, so the original package no longer describes every resale. The façade's changing geometry also means that homes with the same bedroom count can have different window arrangements and outdoor proportions.
East-facing rear balconies and avenue-facing homes offer different orientations. A terrace attached to an upper apartment is part of that home's configuration; the common roof deck serves the association as a whole. These two forms of outdoor access should be distinguished when comparing floor plans and usable interior area.
Building operations
The shared roof deck is the central recreational amenity. Elevator access, video intercom and virtual doorman service support day-to-day use, and a basement laundry facility supplements the washer/dryers installed within apartments. The condominium's commercial component consists of two separately classified tax lots.
The DOF ownership roll shows dispersed residential ownership, with the largest single owner holding one of the 42 apartments. The building is now well beyond its initial construction and first-closing period. Apartment transfers have occurred over more than a decade, and recent activity consists of occasional individual transactions.
The 421-a program here was a ten-year capped benefit beginning in 2013. Its final appearance was on the 2023 roll. Residential lots remain in tax Class 2, and their assessments have no statutory annual growth cap. The building's floor area already exceeds the residential FAR for its mapped R7-2 district, so that comparison doesn't point to unused development capacity.

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.
